TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING
Adjust the mower while tractor is parked on level ground or
driveway. Make sure tires are properly inflated (See "PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual). If tires are
over or underinflated, you will not properly adjust your mower.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT WITH BUBBLE LEVEL
(See Figs. 19 and 20)
NOTE: If necessary, check side-to-side surface below
tractor for levelness with a long board and the bubble level.
•
Using the lift lever, place mower in position where no part
of the mower, including gauge wheels, is touching the
ground.
•
From left side of tractor, find the level decal on top of
mower and place bubble level on decal as indicated.
•
Mower is level side-to-side when bubble is between the
two lines in the bubble level.
•
If adjustment is necessary, under left hand footrest, turn
lift link adjustment nut (above yellow cap) in appropriate
direction to bring bubble between the lines in the bubble
level.
•
Remove bubble level from mower and store in a safe
place.

•
Raise mower to its highest position.
•
At the midpoint of both sides of mower, measure height
from bottom edge of mower to ground. Distance "A" on
both sides of mower should be the same or within 1/4"
of each other.
•
If adjustment is necessary, make adjustment on one
side of mower only.
•
To raise one side of mower, tighten lift link adjustment
nut on that side.
•
To lower one side of mower, loosen lift link adjustment
nut on that side.
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower
height about 1/8".
•
Recheck measurements after adjusting.

FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 23 and 24)
IMPORTANT: DECK MUST BE LEVEL SIDE-TO-SIDE. IF
THE FOLLOWING FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT IS
NECESSARY, BE SURE TO ADJUST BOTH FRONT LINKS
EQUALLY SO MOWER WILL STAY LEVEL SIDE-TO-
SIDE.
To obtain the best cutting results, the mower housing should
be adjusted so that the front is approximately 1/8" to 1/2"
lower than the rear when the mower is in its highest position.
Check adjustment on right side of tractor. Measure distance
"D" directly in front and behind the mandrel at bottom edge
of mower housing as shown.
•
Before making any necessary adjustments, check that
both front links are equal in length.
•
If links are not equal in length, adjust one link to same
length as other link.
•
To lower front of mower loosen nut "E" on both front links
an equal number of turns.
