Assembly and Installation (continued)
Level Mower Deck
1. Park tractor with attachment on a level
surface. Raise mower to transport
position (see page 9).
2. Check and adjust tractor tire pressure:
Front: 12 -14 PSI (82 - 96 kPa)
Rear: 8 -10 PSI (55 • 69 kPa)
3. Set clearance between lift bracket (D,
Fig. 2) and frame (frame stop on some
models) to 1/4". Adjust position of
nuts (L) to set clearance.
4. Level deck - front to rear:
a. Lower mower deck to height of 3".
b. Turn left or right blade so it aligns
lengthwise (front to rear) with
tractor. Measure distance from
front edge of blade (N, Fig. 2) to
ground. Measure distance from
rear edge of blade (0) to ground.
Both distances should be equal.
d. To level, adjust length of front lift
rods (A) (Figs. 1 and 2) by turning
rod end (P) on each front lift rod,
up or down threads.
5. Level deck - side to side:
a. Lower mower deck to ground.
b. Turn left blade so it aligns width-
wise (perpendicular) to tractor.
See Fig. 3. Measure distance from
outside blade tip (J) to ground.
Turn right blade so it aligns width-
wise (perpendicular) to tractor.
Measure distance from outside
blade tip (K) to ground.
Measurements should be equal.
c. Adjust position of nuts (L, Figs. 1
and 2) to raise or lower each lift
link until deck is level from side to
side.
d. When level, tighten nuts (L) firmly
against swivel block.
NOTE: CLEARANCE BETWEEN LIFT LINK
(E) AND LIFT BRACKET (D) MUST BE NO
LESS THAN 1/4" WHEN DECK IS IN
TRANSPORT POSITION.
Check side to side levelling.
Both measurements (blade tips to ground) must be equal.
