Some common causes for battery failure are: 
• 

Incorrect initial activation

• 

Overcharging

• 

Freezing

• 

Undercharging

• 

Corroded connections

These failures are NOT covered by your tractor’s warranty.

Never attempt to make any 

adjustments while the engine is running, except 

where specified in the operator’s manual.

NOTE: Check the tractor’s tire pressure before performing any 

deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires in the Service section of 

this manual for information regarding tire pressure.

The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer bar that 

can be adjusted to level the deck from front-to-rear. The front of 

the deck should be between ¼-inch and 3⁄8-inch lower than the 

rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. 

With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the 

lever for lifting the platform on the second to the top notch 

(second highest position) and rotate the blade as close to 

the discharge channel that is parallel to the tractor.

2. 

Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to 

the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. 

The first measurement taken should be between ¼” and 

3⁄8” less than the second measurement. Determine the 

approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and 

proceed, if necessary, to the next step.

3. 

Locate the jam nut and lock nut on the front side of the 

stabilizer bracket. See Figure 6-4.

4. 

After loosening the jam nut:

a.  Tighten the lock nut to raise the front of the deck; 
b.  Loosen the lock nut to lower the front of the deck.

5. 

Retighten the jam nut loosened earlier when proper 

adjustment is achieved.

If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side-to-

side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. 

With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the 

deck lift lever in the second from the top notch (second 

highest position) and rotate both blades so that they are 

perpendicular with the tractor.

2. 

Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade 

tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the 

right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken 

should be equal. If they’re not, proceed to the next step.

3. 

Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap screw on the left 

deck hanger bracket. See Figure 6-4.

4. 

Balance the deck by using a wrench to turn the adjustment 

gear (found immediately behind the hex cap screw just 

loosened) clockwise/up or counterclockwise/down. 

The deck is properly balanced when both blade tip 

measurements taken earlier are equal.

5. 

Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger 

bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.
