Mower Adjustments

If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling.
Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an
uneven cut. Make sure tire pressure is correct as speci-
fied in Checking Tire Pressure.
Side-To-Side Leveling
1. With the mower installed, place the rider on a smooth,
level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn the front
wheels straight forward.
2. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.
3. Loosen nut (C, Figure 22) so trailing arms are loose.
Mower must be resting on rollers with no weight on
trailing arms.
4. Use the Dial-A-Cut
TM
mower in mid-cut position by aligning front edge of
mower lift lever (B) with number 2 or 3 on quadrant
scale. Make sure mower lift lever is in down position.
5. Make sure rear rollers (C, Figure 24) are on
the ground. If not, refer to Transport Height
Adjustment.
NOTE: If rollers do not rest on the ground and it is
necessary to perform transport height adjustment, it
is necessary to perform transport height adjustment
again after all leveling procedures are completed.
6. Position blade(s) side-to-side and measure distance
from outside tip of blade(s) to ground. Measurement
should be equal (within 1/8").
7. On left side of mower, make sure eccentric nut is in
correct position as shown. Loosen outside nut (A,
Figure 24) and rotate eccentric nut (B) so that flat side
with hole closest to it is towards the rear. Tighten out-
side nut while holding eccentric nut.
8. On right side of mower, loosen outside nut. Turn
eccentric nut counterclockwise to raise side of mower,
or clockwise to lower right hand side of mower.
NOTE: Do not turn eccentric nut more than 1/4 turn in
either direction. When adjusted beyond 1/4 turn, nut will
move mower in opposite direction than when starting
adjustment.
9. When adjustment is correct, hold eccentric nut (B)
and tighten nut (A) to 30 ft-lbs (41 Nm). Check mea-
surement on both sides of mower.
