Mower Deck Adjustment - 52" Mower Decks
Adjusting the Deck Lift Rod Timing
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
Rear tires must be inflated to 15 psi (1,03 bar); front
tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).
2. To check the deck lift rod timing, measure and record
the distance between the lift pivots and the rod pivots.
Repeat for other side of unit. See Figure 39.
3. If the measurements are equal, skip to Step 5. If the
measurements are NOT equal (greater than 1/8" (3,17
mm) difference), adjustment is required, continue with
Step 4.
4. Refer to Figure 40. To adjust the lift rod timing, adjust
the 5/8" hex nuts on either side of the front lift pivot
until the measurements are equal. Repeat for other
side.
Adjusting the Leveling of the Mower Deck
1. Place the deck height adjustment pin in the 4" (10,2 cm)
position.
2. Place the 2 X 4 blocks under each corner of the mower
deck with the 3-1/2" sides being vertical. See Figure 41.
3. Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight and
the deck is still resting on the 2 X 4's. Tighten jam nuts.
See Figure 42.
4. Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to rest on
the 2 X 4's. Slide the chains in the slots until the chains
are tight and tighten the nuts. See Figure 42.
5. Remove all 2 X 4 blocks from under the mower deck.
