C Series Garden Tractor - Deck Levelling
LEVELLING SIDE TO SIDE
Adjustment is best done with the Deck in a position one up
from its lowest cut – check the level both sides and
levelling is then achieved by adjusting the left (nearside) of
the deck at two points.
REAR ADJUSTMENT - Fig 21 & 22
1. Find the Deck Level Disk (fig 21) near the back
(nearside) wheel. This has a concentric slot in which the
Deck Levelling Rod is located.
2. Using a 1/2" spanner, loosen the 5/16" Nyloc nut (fig 22)
(A) securing this stud just enough to permit some
movement.
3. Now lift or depress the Deck depending on the
adjustment you wish to achieve. This will move the stud
up or down the disk (B) – the higher up and nearer the
centre of the disk the higher the deck.
4. Check with your ruler or tape and having levelled the
Deck at the rear, re-tighten the Nyloc nut.
FRONT ADJUSTMENT - Fig 21 & 23
1. Having levelled the rear of the Deck, check if the front is
level. If not, you will need to find the Deck Adjustment
Plate (fig 23) which is forward of the Cutter Deck near
the front (nearside) wheel.
2. Before making adjustments, loosen the two sets of nuts
and bolts (C & D) securing the Deck Levelling Bracket
(E) using a 13mm spanner and 13mm socket.
3. Then, using a 13mm spanner, loosen (upper)
locknut (F).
4. Now adjust the height by using a ratchet or spanner to
turn the Nyloc nut (G) clockwise (up) to raise the Deck or
anti-clockwise (down) to lower it.
5. When correct level is achieved, tighten up all nuts and
bolts except G.
ANTI-SCALP WHEELS - Fig 20
For the closest cut, set the Anti-Scalp Wheels (Page 9, fig
20) in the middle adjustment holes. If you are experiencing
scalping, this can be minimised by setting the wheels in the
lowest adjustment holes.
