CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE:
1. Place mower on a smooth, level surface and check tire pres-
sures to insure correct stance. Tires should be inflated as follows.
Front: 16 - 21 lbs
Rear: 8 - 14 lbs
2. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck in a side to side
manner.
3. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade
tip on the discharge side of the mower. Retain this measure-
ment. Move to the opposite side and check to see if that
measurement is the same. If adjustment is required, turn nut
on one or both of the rear L-rods until both measurements are
equal.
4. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck in a front to rear
manner.
5. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade
tips at both the front and rear of the blades. Rear of blade tips
should be to 1/8" to 3/8" higher than the front of blade tips. If
adjustment is necessary, turn nut on front retaining rod.
NOTE: This will place the mower deck in a base measurement position.
Additional adjustment may be required to achieve desired cut for
the type of grass or conditions involved.
