on level ground or driveway.

you will not properly
adjust your mower.

ADJUSTMENT
• Raise mower to its highest
position.
• Measure
height from bottom of deck
curl to ground level at front corners of
mower.
Distance "A" on both sides of

• If adjustment is necessary,
make adjust-
ment 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.

edge of
mower housing as shown.

ments, 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 housing, loosen
nut =G" on both front links an equal
number of turns.
• When distance =F" is 1/8" to 1/2" lower
at front than rear, tighten nut "H" against
trunnion on both front links.
• To raise front of mower housing, loosen
nut "H" from trunnion on both front links.
Tighten nut "G" on both front links an
equal number of turns.

at front than rear, tighten nut "H"
against trunnion on both front links.
