To Level Mower
Make sure tires are properly inflated to the PSI shown on
tires. If tires are over or under inflated, it may affect the ap-
pearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower is
not adjusted properly.
VISUAL SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
1. With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears
unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting
lower.
NOTE: As desired, you can raise the low side of mower or
lower the high side.
2. Go to side of mower you wish to adjust.
3. With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjustment
nut (A) to the left to lower the mower, or, to the right to
raise the mower (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower
height about 3/16".
4. Test your adjustment by mowing some uncut grass and
visually checking the appearance. Readjust, if necessary,
until you are satisfied with the results.
PRECISION SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
1. With all tires properly inflated, park tractor on level ground
or driveway.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves
and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.
2. Raise mower to its highest position.
3. At both sides of mower, position blade at side and measure
the distance (A) from bottom edge of blade to the ground.
The distance should be the same on both sides (Fig. 2).
4. If adjustment is necessary, see steps 2 and 3 in Visual
Adjustment instructions above.
5. Recheck measurements, adjust if necessary until both
sides are equal.

FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT

To obtain the best cutting re sults, the mower blades should
be adjusted so the front tip is 1/8" to 3/8
tip when the mower is in its highest position.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves
and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.
