Adjusting
the Deck
IMPORTANT:
Please note that the valve stems on
the front wheels of this rider mower are on the inside
of the wheels.
The front of the deck should be approximately 1/4" to
3/8" lower than the rear of the deck. To maintain that,
you may have to adjust the deck pitch. In the case of
uneven cut, you will have to level the deck. For both
adjustments, follow the steps below:
NOTE: Check pressure of all four tires before levelling
the deck. Recommended tire pressure is 12p.s.L
•
Place the deck in the engaged position.
•
Loosen the top hex nut out of the three nuts
that hold the hex bolt and the ferrule on the
deck hanger link assembly. See Figure 24. Do
not try to loosen or tighten the bottom nut.
•
Loosen the second nut up or down as
necessary. See Figure 24.

When desired adjustment is reached, retighten
the two nuts.

Adjust both sides if necessary.
Cleaning Engine

Promptly wipe off any fuel or oil spilled on the
machine with clean cloth.

accumulate around the blade which may cause
rust on the deck.
