FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT
1. Arrange the blades so they face front-to-back (Figure
35).
2. See Figure 35. Measure the distance from the ground
to the front and rear tips of the blades as shown.
Front tips should be equal to rear tips or within 1/8"
(3mm) higher. If not, proceed to step 3.
3. See Figure 36. Loosen the outside nut (A) and turn
the eccentric nut (B) to raise or lower the rear of the
deck. When the mower deck is level, hold the eccen-
tric (B) while tightening the outside nut (A).
NOTE: If mower handle drops out of cutting height quad-
rant, turn adjustment nut (A, Figure 37) clockwise to
increase spring tension. DO NOT tighten nut all the way
so that the spring is solid.
BLADE BRAKE CHECK
Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a
complete stop within five seconds after the PTO lever is
disengaged.
1. With tractor in neutral, PTO disengaged and operator
in seat, start the engine.
2. Engage the PTO and wait several seconds.
Disengage the PTO and check the amount of time it
takes for the mower drive belt to stop.
3. If mower drive belt does not stop within five seconds,
see your dealer.
