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.

• At the midpoint of both sides of mower, measure height
from bottom edge of mower to ground. Distance "A" on

side of mower only.

nut on that side.
• To lower one side of mower, loosen lift link adjustment
nut on that side.
NOTE: Three full turns of adjustment nut will change mower
