TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING

on level ground or driveway. Make sure

UCT SPECIFICATIONS"
section of this
manual).
If tires are over or underinflated,
you wilt not properly adjust your mower.
SIDE-TO-SIDE
ADJUSTMENT
• 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 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.

ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT:
Deck must be level side-to
side. If the following
front-to-back
adjust-
ment is necessary,
be sure to adjust both
front links equally
so mower

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 trac-
tor. Measure distance "D" directly in front
and behind the mandrel at bottom edge of
mower housing as shown.
• Before making any necessary adjust-
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 loosen nut "E"
on both front links an equal number of
turns.
• When distance "D" is 1/8" to 1/2"
lower at front than rear, tighten nuts "F"
against trunnion on both front links.
• To raise front of mower, loosen nut "F"
from trunnion on both front links. Tighten
nut "E" on both front links an equal num-
ber of turns. The two front links must
remain equal in length.
• When distance "D" is 1/8" to 1/2" lower
at front than rear, tighten nut "F" against
trunnion on both front links.
• Recheck side-to-side
