Regular Maintenance

 1.  Park the machine on a flat, level surface.  Disengage the 

PTO, engage the parking brake, turn off the engine, and 
remove the ignition key.  Rear tires must be inflated to 
15 psi (1,03 bar); front tires to 40 psi (2,76 bar).

 2.  To check the lift rod timing, measure and record the 

distance between the lift pivots and the rod pivots.  
Repeat for other side of unit.  See Figure 36.

 3.  If the measurements for the rods are equal, no further 

adjustment is required.  If the measurements are 
NOT equal (greater than 1/8” (3,17 mm) difference), 
adjustment is required continue with Step 4.

 4.  Lock the deck lift pedal in the 4-1/2” (11,47 cm) 

position.  Remove the cutting height adjustment pin and 
lower the mower deck.

 5.  To ensure that the deck is in the lowest position, push 

the pedal by hand towards the rear of the unit and install 
the height adjustment pin in the 3” (7,6 cm) position to 
hold in place.

 6.  Block up the mower deck until all hanger chains are 

slack.  Refer to Figure 38.

 7.  See Figure 37. To adjust the lift rod, loosen the jam 

nut on the front clevis then remove the 1/2” clevis pin 
fastening the clevis to the lift pivot arm.  Turn the clevis 
clockwise to shorten the distance between the rod pivots 
or counterclockwise to lengthen the distance between 
the rod pivots.  Reinstall the clevis on the lift pivot arm 
and secure with the 1/2” clevis pin previously removed.  
Tighten the jam nut against the clevis.

 8.  Remove the blocks from the under the mower deck.
 9.  Remove the cutting height adjustment pin from in front 

of the deck lift pedal arm.  Lift mower deck and reinstall 
adjustment pin in desired mowing height.

brake.  Check the tires from proper inflation levels.  See 
Checking Tire Pressures.

 2.  Lock the deck lift pedal in the 4-1/2” (11,47 cm) 

position.  Place the deck height adjustment pin in the 
4” position and lower the deck lift pedal until the arm 
contacts the pin.

 3.  Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the mower deck 

with the 3-1/2” side being vertical. Place a 1/4” (0,64 
cm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4 blocks. See 
Figure 38.

 4.  Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight and 

the deck is still resting on the 2 x 4 blocks. Tighten the 
jam nuts.  See Figure 39.

 5.  Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to rest on 

the 2 x 4’s and 1/4” spacers. Slide the chains down in 
the slots until the chains are tight and tighten the nuts.
