4.2.2 Deck Leveling:
a) Position mower on a flat surface.
b) Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage
parking brake.
c) Check tire pressure in drive tires. Proper inflation pressure for drive tires is
13 psi (90 kPa). Proper inflation for caster tires is 16 psi (110 kPa). Adjust if
necessary.
d) Set anti-scalp rollers to top holes or remove completely for this adjustment.
e) Raise the deck to the 4.5” (11.4 cm) height position and take as much force
as possible off of the two large deck lift springs by loosening the nuts at the
front of each spring. See Figure 7.
f) Lower the deck to the 1-1/2” (3.8 cm) height position. Place two 1-5/16”
(3.3 cm) thick blocks under the rear edge of the cutting deck skirt; one on
each side of the cutting deck. Place a 1-1/8” (2.9 cm) block under the
center front edge, but not under the anti-scalp roller brackets.
g) Loosen the two (2) bottom chain bolts in slots at the rear of the cutting
deck. Loosen four (4) nuts which secure front swivels (two per side), until
front chains are loose and front of deck is supported by the 1-1/8” (2.9 cm)
block. Do not loosen front chain hardware.
h) When hardware is loosened, remaining tension in the large support springs
will tend to rotate the deck lift handle up, out of the 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) position.
Press down on the rear deck support arm (as shown in Figure 7) to firmly
return the deck lift handle to the 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) position. DO NOT push on
deck lift handle. While continuing to press down,
take the slack out of the
rear chains and tighten hardware at the bottom of the rear chains.
Downward pressure may now be released.
i) On left side, adjust front swivel using the locking nut behind the swivel until
the front chain is tight and all slack is removed from linkage. Do not lift
front of deck off 1-1/8” (2.9 cm) block. Secure front swivel using locking
nut in front of swivel. Repeat for right side.
