TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING
Adjust the mower while tractor is parked
on level ground or driveway. Make sure
tires are properly inflated (See “PROD­
UCT SPECIFiC.ATIONS" -section of this
manual). If tires are over or
underinflated, you will not properly adjust
your mower.
SIDE-TO-StDE ADJUSTMENT
• Raise mower to its highest position.
» At the midpoint of both sides of mower,
measure height from bottom edge of
mower to ground. Distance “A” on
both sides of mower should be the
same or within 1/4" of each other.
» If adjustment is necessary, make
adjustment on one side of mower only.
• To raise one side of mower, tighten lift
link adjustment nut on that side.
• To lower one side of mower, loosen lift
link adjustment nut on that side.
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut
will change mower height about 1/8".
• Recheck measurements after adjust­
ing.
