Troy-Bilt Pony Manuel D’Utilisation

If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side 
adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:

With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the 
deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate 
both blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.
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.
Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap screw on the left 
deck hanger bracket. See Fig. 6-4.

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.
Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger 
bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.

Refer to the Set-Up and Assembly section of this manual for seat 
adjustment instructions.

Never attempt to adjust the brakes 

while the engine is running. Always disengage PTO, 
move shift lever into neutral position, stop engine 
and remove key to prevent unintended starting.

If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake 
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor’s rear wheels 
can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need of 
adjustment. See an authorized Troybilt Service Dealer to have 
your brakes properly adjusted.
