Adjusting The Mower Deck - Husqvarna Z 254 Manual Del Operador

Adjusting the Mower Deck

Leveling deck
Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface.
Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. See
Technical Data / Transmission. If tires are under or over
inflated, the deck cannot be properly adjusted. Raise the deck
to the highest (transport) position.
The deck should be adjusted slightly higher in the rear.
NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower deck
drive belt must be installed prior to leveling deck.
1. Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip to align front
to rear with the deck side-to-side.
2. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the
blade tip on the discharge side of the mower deck.
Record the measurement.
3. Move to the opposite side, check that measurement is the
same. If adjustment is required—with a ¾" or adjustable
wrench, turn the lift link adjustment nuts on either side
counter clockwise to lower or clockwise to raise. Adjust
until both measurements are equal.
MAINTENANCE
4. Turn any blade to align with the deck front-to-rear. If the
front blade tip does not measure
rear—with a
front suspension linkage. Clockwise raises the front of the
mower, counter clockwise will lower the front. Adjust nuts
until rear of mower deck is positioned level to
the rear than the side-to-side measurement.
NOTE: For illustration, the front foot rest has been
removed. The adjustment can be made without removal.
NOTE: This will place the mower deck in a standard
measurement position. Depending on the type of grass
being mowed or environmental conditions, additional
adjustments may be required to achieve the desired cut.
