lever is more forward than the other when
driving in a straight line, the steering control
levers are out of adjustment. While traveling,
turn the tracking knob to the left or the right to
increase or decrease the tractor wheel speed
and make the steering control levers equal.
NOTE: The steering control levers need to be
even in both neutral or park.
LEVELING THE DECK
CAUTION: Stop the engine, put
the steering control levers in the
park position and remove the key
from the ignition before
performing any maintenance or
repairs on this unit.
1. Set the front tire pressure to 20 p.s.i, and
the rear tire pressure to 12 p.s.i.
2. Place the mower on a level surface.
3. Raise the mower deck to the transport
lock position and adjust the cut height to
3 inches.
4. Lower the deck back to cut position.
5. Set both of the outside blades to be
perpendicular to the mower as shown in
figure 21.
Figure 21 OE3302
6. Measure the height of the blade tips on
both 1 and 2 and adjust the front
adjustment bolts (see figure 20, item 14)
and the rear U-bolts to ensure the deck
is level from left to right.
7. Rotate the mower blades 90 ° so they
are parallel to the mower deck. Use the
rear adjustment bolts to adjust the deck
so that the rear blade tip is 1/8" higher
than the front blade tip on the same
blade.
Measure the blade heights to make sure they
match what is shown on the height of cut dial.
The height is measured as the distance
between the ground and the bottom of the
blade. If the blade height does not match the
dial height, see Synchronizing Height Of Cut
below.

position. Take the weight off of the deck
lift linkage by inserting wood blocks
under each corner of the deck and
slowly lowering it until it is resting on the
blocks.
