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 1/4" higher than the front of

blade tips. If adjustment is necessary, turn

nut on front L-rod.
