19 as well as the lubrication points listed. Generally, all
moving metal parts should be oiled where contact is
made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off belts and
pulleys. Wipe surfaces clean before and after lubrica-
tion.
Grease:
• steering linkage
• foot pedal
• mower linkage
• transmission idler assembly pivot
• rear axle shafts (remove wheel hubs)
Use grease fittings when present. Automotive lithium
grease is recommended.
Oil:
• control linkage
• seat adjustment assembly

Front-to-Back Leveling
1. Make sure mower is level from side-to-side (refer to
previous adjustment). Rear mower rollers should be
on the ground.
2. Position blade(s) front-to-back. Measure the distance
from the ground to front tip of blade(s), and from
ground to rear tip of blade(s). On the 34" mower, front
tips should be 1/4" (6 mm) higher than the rear tips.
On the 30" mower, the front tip should be level to 1/8"
(3 mm) higher than rear tip. For adjustment, refer to
Figure 13.
a. Loosen jam nut (E). To lower rear of mower deck,
loosen nut (B) which will lengthen leveling rod (D)
until measurement is obtained. Tighten nut (A)
against bracket (C) and tighten jam nut (E) against
nut (A).
b. To raise rear of mower deck, shorten leveling rod
(D).
c. Recheck measurement before tightening adjust-
ment nut (A) and jam nut (E) against bracket.
CAUTION
Mower blades can cut hands if not protected by
gloves. Turn the mower drive belt by hand to
rotate blades into position or wear gloves to turn
blade(s) by hand. On mulching mower decks,
make sure fingers do not become pinched
between mower blade and lower lip.
