Leveling the Deck
WHEN PERFORMING ANY ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE, YOU MUST FIRST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE,
SET THE PARKING BRAKE, WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW PARTS TO COOL AND DISCONNECT THE
SPARK PLUG WIRE(S), KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG(S).
There are four (4) Adjustable Hangers (Figure 21) on the
Mower Deck and used to maintain a consistent cutting height
across the Deck. These may need adjustment from time to
time.
NOTE: A higher Bolt position allows lower cutting heights.
Tools Needed:
•
(2) 1/2" Wrench
• Wood Blocking
1. Raise the Deck to the Transport Position. See page 34.
Place equal height Blocks beneath each corner of the
Deck. Lower the Deck so that it rests on the Blocks and
relieves the tension on the chain supports.
2. Re-position the Deck Bolt (Figure 21) in the slot as
required by removing the Bolt, placing it in a higher or
lower position, and then tighten securely.
