Deck Levelling
1. In case of uneven mowing, check air pressure in all
four tires and fillup if needed. Recommended air
pressure is20-22 psi. If this does not correct the
problem, proceed with deck levelling.
IMPORTANT:Perform adjustments to the deck on a fiat,
level surface.
2. Place the vehicle on a level surface. Depress and
lock the parking brake. Disconnect the spark plug
wire and ground it.
3. Place the deck inthe lowest cutting position by
sliding the deck lever to the appropriate position.
4. Wearing a pair of heavy work gloves to prevent
injury, rotate the cutting blade sothat it is pointed
side to side and perpendicular to the dder.
5. Measure the distance from each tip of the blade to
the ground, If the distance from both blade tips to
the ground is not the same, perform a side to side
levelling ofthe deck.
6. For levelling, remove the hairpin clipand flat
washer shown in Figure 18. Thread the ferrule in or
out as required.
7. Check for correct adjustment. Repeat adjustment if
necessary
8. Reattach the hairpin clip and flat washer to ferrule.

Deck Engagement
NOTE: The deck control cable isthreaded at both ends;
adjustment has to be made at the end that attaches to
the controllever on the steering column.
1. Inspect the linkage and cable for damage through
wear and tear.
2. To determine whether adjustment is necessary,
perform the following test. The deck engagement
cable is correctly adjusted when the upper deck
drive belt has a maximum deflection of 0.5" inthe
engaged position.When disengaged, the blade
brake should be firmly applied and the belt should
not drag.
3. To adjust, loosen the jam nuts and back the cable
out totighten or thread inward to loosen. Use a 1/2"
wrench for this purpose.
