Side to Side
If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if
necessary as follows:
WARNING: Turn the tractor’s engine off, remove the key from the ignition switch and apply the
tractor’s parking brake before making any adjustments to the cutting deck.
• With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and
rotate the both blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.
• Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade tip to the ground and the distance from the
outside of the right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken should be equal. If they’re not,
proceed to the next step.
• Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger bracket. See Figure 8B.
• Balance the deck so that both blade tip measurements taken earlier are equal.
• Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.
Figure 8
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the position of the seat, move the seat
adjustment lever (located under the seat) to the left
and slide the seat forward or backwards. See Figure
9. Make sure seat is locked into one of the six
adjustment positions before operating the tractor.
Figure 9
STEERING ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the
other, or if the ball joints are being replaced due to
damage or wear, the steering drag links may need to
be adjusted.
