SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE, cont'd
nOTE: Using a pressure washer or garden hose is not recommended for cleaning the
tractor other than to clean the underside of the deck. It may cause damage to electrical
components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in
shortened life and reduce serviceability.
4. Fully charge the battery, then disconnect the negative cable at the battery to prevent
possible discharge. Recharge the battery periodically when in storage.
nOTE: Remove the battery if exposed to prolonged periods of sub-freezing temperatures.
Store in a cool, dry location where temperatures are above freezing.
5. Lubricate all lubrication points.
Removing the Tractor From storage
1. Check the engine oil.
2. Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. See tire
side wall for proper tire inflation pressure.
3. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh gasoline.
4. Start the engine and allow to idle for a few minutes to ensure engine is
operating properly.
5. Drive the tractor without a load to make certain all the tractor systems are
functioning properly.
Adjustments
Adjusting Deck lift Pedal
The deck lift pedal can be adjusted to
operator preference.
1. Set the deck to the
transport position.
2. Remove the hex bolt, washer and
hex nut near the center of the pedal
assembly. See Figure 40.
3. Position the pedal to the optimal
position based on operator
preference. See Figure 41.
4. Reinstall the hardware previously removed and torque
the nut to 28-35 ft-lbs (38-47 N-m). See Figure 40.
Deck leveling
If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, leveling
adjustments can be performed.
WARNING: If the tractor has been recently run,
the engine, muffler, and surrounding metal
surfaces will be very hot and can cause burns
to the skin. Let the engine cool for at least five
minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
leveling the Deck (side-to-side)
1. Park the tractor on a firm, level surface.
2. Ensure that all tires are properly inflated.
3. Place the deck lift knob in a middle mowing position and rotate both outside blades
so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.
4. 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 are not, proceed to the next step.
5. Locate the adjustment
nuts on top of the deck
lift rods on the left and
right side of the tractor.
There is one on each side
at the front of the deck
between the platform
and lower frame tube,
and one at each side
of the rear of the deck
near the front of the rear

wheel. See Figure 42.
6. Remove the end cap
from front deck lift rods
and save for later re-installation.
7. Rotate either the left side (front and rear) or right side (front and rear) nuts clockwise
to raise the deck height or counter-clockwise to lower the deck, depending on the
needed adjustment. Adjust each nut equally.
nOTE: Make adjustments in quarter-turn increments and re-measure blade distance on
both sides frequently.

leveling the Deck (Pitch/Front-to-Rear)
The front of the deck should be between 1⁄8-3⁄8" (3-9 mm) lower than the rear of the
deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. Park the tractor on
a firm, level surface
and place the
deck lift knob in a
middle position.
2. Ensure that all tires are
properly inflated.
3. Ensure side-to-
side level.
4. Rotate the blade
nearest the discharge
chute so that it
is parallel with
the tractor.
5. Measure the
distance from the
front of the blade tip to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground.
The first measurement taken should be between 1⁄8-3⁄8" (3-9 mm) less than the
second measurement.
6. Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and proceed,
if necessary.
a. Remove the end cap on both front deck height adjust rods and save for later
re-installation. See Figure 43.
b. Rotate both front nuts clockwise to raise the front deck pitch or counter-clockwise
to lower the front deck pitch, depending on the needed adjustment. Adjust each
nut equally. See Figure 43.
nOTE: Make adjustments in quarter-turn increments, and re-measure front-to-rear deck
pitch blade distance frequently until proper pitch is achieved.
c. Reinstall the end caps onto the deck rods.
Adjusting the Deck Wheels
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the
cutting deck.
nOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not designed to
support the weight of the cutting deck. The deck wheels should be approximately 1⁄4-1⁄2"
(6.35-12.7 mm) above the ground when the deck is set in the desired height setting. To
adjust the deck wheels see the Assembly section for instructions.
lapbar Drive Control lever stop Adjustment
When the lapbar drive control levers are both fully extended forward to the full-speed
position and the tractor drifts left or right, the lapbar 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 lapbar drive
control lever. If the tractor drifts right, adjust the left lapbar drive control lever down
(decrease speed) and vice versa.
2. Locate the lapbar drive
control lever stop
adjustment bolts (a) on the
front of the seat frame. See
Figure 44.
nOTE: The multi-tool (if
equipped) can be used to make
this adjustment.
3. To decrease the forward
speed, turn the lapbar
drive control lever stop
adjustment bolts (a)
clockwise. To increase the
forward speed, turn the
lapbar drive control lever
stop adjustment bolts (a) counter-clockwise. Turn the lapbar drive control lever stop
adjustment bolts (a) in the necessary direction 1⁄4-turn at a time. After turning the
lapbar drive control lever stop adjustment bolts (a), 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.
nOTE: Make sure the bolts extend through the nuts on the frame to engage the
locking feature.
