1. Place mower on a smooth, level surface and check tire pressures to

insure correct stance.  Rotate front caster wheels into forward travel

position. Tires should be inflated as follows:

Front: 16 - 21 lbs

Rear:

  8 - 14 lbs

2. Place deck lift foot pedal in the 4th notch from the lowest.

3. Rotate blades so they run from front to back.  Front of blade tips should

be within 1/8” of each other.  Adjust, if necessary, using the appropriate

holes in the front hanger links.

IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect or attempt to adjust the front

deck trailing arms.  The deck will be difficult to

adjust if the front arms are changed from the factory

setting.

4. Check the back to front blade rake angle.  Blade tips should be 1/4”

(+/- 1/8”) higher in the rear of the deck (positive rake).  Adjust, if necessary,

by loosening clevis jam nuts and turning deck adjustment rod(s) to

shorten or lengthen the rod assemblies.

5. Check the front blade tips again and note measurements.

6. Turn blades side to side and check left and right blade tips.  These

measurements should be within 1/8” of each other and the

measurements at the front.  To adjust side to side measurements, use

small turns on the rear deck adjustment rod(s).  Shortening the right

rear rod will raise the right side and lower the left, and vice-versa.

7. Turn blades front to back and check again.  Blade tips should still be

within 1/8” of each other.

(See illustration B, page 43)

NOTE:

This places 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.
