CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE:
1. Place mower on a smooth, level surface and check tire pressures
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 measurement.
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 that the front of blade tips. If adjustment
is necessary, turn nut on front L-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.
