DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
Before checking the deck level make sure that tire
pressures are at the proper level. Begin by setting
the deck to a fixed position and pointing the blades
to the front edge of the deck.
Measuring from the blade to the ground on each
side of the deck will give the best reading. To
adjust deck position loosen the bolt on the deck
hanger bracket and move bolt in the slot either up
or down depending which way you need to move
the deck. You should
Always maintain at least a 1/7 inch of deck pitch
from front to back. Also all four chains must
support the deck equally or must have equal
tension on them.
TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
Before adjusting the
tracking you must be
sure that the tire
pressures are equal. If
the machine will not
track straight on a flat
surface it may be
adjusted by moving the
stop bolt (located by
either control arm)
clockwise to increase
ground speed and
counter clockwise to
decrease ground speed.. Normally only one side is
adjusted to match the ground seed of the other
pump

MOWER BLADES
Check sharpness of mower blades after every 10
hours or operation. To sharpen blades proceed as

Sharpen blade with a hand file, electric grinder
or blade sharpener. Wear gloves and eye
protection when sharpening. Grind blade at

on a nail or blade balance pedestal. Grind the
blade on the end that is heavier until both sides
