Test 3: Checking
Side to Side Levelling
1.
Place the deck in the highest position.
2.
Wearing a pair of heavy work gloves to prevent
injury, rotate the cutting blade so that it is pointed
side to side and perpendicular to the rider. Depress
and lock the deck engagement pedal.
3.
Measure the distance from the tips of the blade to
the ground.
4.
If the two distances are unequal, level the deck
side to side.
Adjusting
Rear Deck Height
1.
Completely loosen, but do not remove, the top hex
nut out of the three hex nuts that hold the hex bolt
and the ferrule on the deck hanger link assembly.
See Figure 13.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to loosen/tighten
bottom nut.
2.
Thread the middle nut as far down as possible.
3.
Locate the lower links at the rear of the deck.
Working on one side at a time, disconnect the
helper springs from them.
4.
Remove each lower link by removing both hair pin
clip and washers.
5.
Reattach lower links as shown in Figure 13 inset.
Front to Rear Levelling
1.
Place the deck in the highest position.
2.
Wearing a pair of heavy work gloves to prevent
injury, rotate the cutting blade so that it is pointed
front to back and parallel to the rider. Depress and
lock the deck engagement pedal.
3.
Completely loosen, but do not remove, the top hex
nut out of the three hex nuts that hold the hex bolt
and the ferrule on the deck hanger link assembly.
See Figure 13.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to loosen/tighten
bottom nut.
4.
Thread the middle nut as far down as possible.
5.
Keeping an equal number of threads above each of
the nuts, thread the upper nut down until the front
tip of the blade is 1/4" to 3/8" lower than the rear tip
of the blade. Note that threading this nut down will
raise the front of the deck.
6.
Thread the middle nut up against the base of the
ferrule. See Figure 13.
7.
Tighten the upper nut against the top of the ferrule
to lock adjustment.
Side to Side
Levelling
1.
Place the deck in the highest position.
2.
Wearing heavy work gloves to prevent injury, rotate
the blade so that it is pointed side to side and
perpendicular to the rider. Depress and lock the
deck engagement pedal.
3.
Loosen the middle hex nut.
4.
Thread the top hex nut up or down in order to set
both tips of the blade at an equal height from the
ground. Remember to thread the nut down to raise
the deck, and thread up to lower the deck.
5.
Once the deck is level, thread the middle hex nut to
tighten against the ferrule. Make sure the cut is
