Troubleshooting, Adjustment & Service
DECK ROD TIMING ADJUSTMENT
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking
brake. Rear tires must be inflated to 15 psi (1,03
bar); front tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).
2. To check the lift rod timing, measure and record
the distance between the lift pivots and the rod
pivots. Repeat for other side of unit. See Figure
35.
3. If the measurements are equal, skip to DECK
LEVELING ADJUSTMENT. If the measurements
are NOT equal (greater than 1/8" (3,17mm)
difference), adjustment is required, continue with
Step 4.
4. Refer to Figure 36. To adjust the lift rod timing,
adjust the 5/8" hex nuts on either side of the
front lift pivot until the measurements are equal.
Repeat for other side.
