Leveling the Mower at 3
Positions
Important:
There are only 3 measuring positions
needed to level the mower.
Setting Up the Machine
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Check tire pressure of the tires; if needed, adjust
to 90 kPa (13 psi).
4. Lower the mower to the 76 mm (3 inches)
height-of-cut position.
5. Inspect the 4 chains.
Note:
The chains need to have tension.
Note:
Adjust the rear chains to the top of the
slot, where they are attached to the mower.
•
If a rear chain is loose, lower (loosen) the
front-support arm on the same side; refer
to Adjusting the Front-to-Rear Mower Pitch
(page 65).
•
If a front chain is loose, raise (tighten) the
front-support arm for that chain; refer to
Adjusting the Front-to-Rear Mower Pitch
(page 65).
Leveling the Mower Side-to-Side
1. Position the right blade side-to-side
1. Measure here from blade
to hard surface
2. Measure the right blade at the B location, from
a level surface to the cutting edge of the blade
tip (Figure 92).
3. Record this measurement. This measurement
needs to be 80 to 83 mm (3-1/8 to 3-1/4 inches).
4. Position the left blade side-to-side
5. Measure the left blade at the C location
92), from a level surface to the cutting edge of
the blade tip.
6. Record this measurement. This measurement
needs to be 80 to 83 mm (3-1/8 to 3-1/4 inches).
7. If the measurements at positions B or C are not
correct, loosen the bolt attaching the rear chain
to the rear-support arm
