Adjusting the Mower Deck

CAUTION! Blades are sharp. Protect your hands
with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth
when handling.
Check the tire pressure before adjustment of the mower deck.
See Tire Pressures in Maintenance. Faulty mower deck
adjustments will cause an uneven mowing result.

Leveling Deck

1. Position the mower on a level, preferably concrete,
surface.
2. Check the pressure in all four tires. See Technical Data
section.
3. Rotate blade to align side to side.
4. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the
blade tip on the discharge side of the mower deck.
Record the measurement.
5. Move to the opposite side, check that measurement is the
same. If adjustment is required turn front adjuster nut(s) to
level deck side to side.
NOTE: This will place the mower deck in a standard
measurement position. Depending on the type of grass
being mowed or environmental conditions, additional
adjustments may be required to achieve the desired cut.
MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower
deck, will increase the machine's life-span. Make it a habit to
clean the machine directly after use (after it is cooled), before
the debris sticks.
Use compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck. For
cleaning the underside of the deck, use the cleanout port.
Attach the quick connect (from the accessory packet) to any
garden hose. After mowing, snap the hose to the cleanout port
and turn on water.
Restart the mower and engage the blades to use the spinning
action to wash away debris. Make sure the hose is away from
the mower blades.
Avoid spraying water on the engine and electrical components.

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or missing
hardware.
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust system,
become very hot during operation. Risk for burns if
touched. Allow engine and exhaust system before
servicing.
