To operate the cutting deck without mulching, simply
remove the mulch plug by unthreading the plastic wing
nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This will allow
the clippings to discharge out the side. See Figure 6.

Tire Pressure
• The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for
shipping purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before
operating the unit. Recommended operating tire
pressure is approximately 10 p.s.i. Check sidewall
of tire for maximum p.s.i.
WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained on all tires.
Leveling the Deck
• With unit on hard, level surface, place the blades in
a straight line, and measure the distance from the
outside edge of the blade tips to the ground. If the
distance varies, adjustment is needed.
• Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the
bottom of the adjustable lift link on the left side of
the deck. Locate the hairpin clip and the flat washer
on the inside of the lift link.
Figure 7
• Pull the adjustable lift link out of the deck hanger
channel. Turn the adjustable lift link up or down as
necessary to level the deck. Usually only one or two
turns are needed. See Figure 7.
• Insert the end of the adjustable lift link into the hole
in the deck hanger channel. Recheck the
adjustment. Readjust if necessary.
• When the deck is levelled, secure end of adjustable
lift link with flat washer and hairpin clip.
