Adjusting the Front Gauge Wheels
WARNING!:
discharge opening of the cutting deck.
The front gauge wheels on the mower deck are an anti-scalp
feature, and should not ride on the ground. The front gauge
wheels should be approximately 1⁄4-1⁄2" above the ground when
the deck is set in the desired height setting.
Using the deck lift handle, set the deck in the desired height
setting, then check the gauge wheel distance from the ground
below. If necessary adjust the front gauge wheels as follows:
1. Visually check the distance between the front gauge
wheels and the ground. If the gauge wheels are near or
touching the ground, they should be raised. If more than
1⁄2" above the ground, they should be lowered.
2. Remove the lock nut securing one of the front gauge wheel
hex screws to the deck. Remove the gauge wheel, hex
screw and spacer. See Figure 7-9.
Lock Nut
3. Insert the hex screw into the one of three index holes in the
front gauge wheel bracket that will give the gauge wheel a
1⁄4-1⁄2" clearance with the ground.
4. Note the index hole of the just adjusted wheel, and adjust
the other front gauge wheel into the respective index hole
of the other front gauge wheel bracket.

Drive Control Lever Stop Adjustment
When the drive control levers are both fully extended forward
to the full-speed position and the tractor drifts left or right, the
drive control lever stop adjustment can be adjusted to sync the
wheel speeds. To perform the adjustment, proceed as follows:
1. Identify the side that the tractor is drifting to and adjust the
opposite drive control lever. If the tractor drifts right, adjust
the left control lever down (decrease speed) and vice versa.
2. Locate the drive control lever stop adjustment bolts on the
front of the seat frame. See Figure 7-10.
Figure 7-10
3. To decrease the forward speed, turn the bolt clockwise.
To increase the forward speed, turn the bolt counter-
clockwise. Turn the bolt in the necessary direction 1⁄4-turn
at a time. After turning the bolt, check the adjustment by
driving the tractor.
4. Continue the adjustment until the wheel speeds are in sync
and the tractor drives straight with the drive control levers
fully extended forward in the full-speed position.

Off-Season Storage

Riding Mower Storage
If your riding mower is not going to be operated for an extended
period of time (thirty days to approximately six months), the riding
mower should be prepared for storage. Store the riding mower
in a dry and protected location. If stored outside, cover the riding
mower (including the tires) to protect it from the elements. The
procedures outlined below should be performed whenever the
riding mower is placed in storage.
1. Change the engine oil and filter following the instructions
provided in the Engine Manual.
WARNING!
Never store the riding mower with fuel
in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated
enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer, etc.
