Note: It is possible to install the engine to mower deck drive belt (P/N
0111) at this time; however, our engine Manufacturers have suggested that
this, belt be installed a f t e r the engine has been fully serviced per
Manufacturers' suggestions and allowed to operate at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle
settings for approximately (3) Minutes. This will place the initial start up of
the engine in a no load situation and allow complete engine lubrication.
Adjustment;
1. Install engine to Mower deck drive belt (P/N 6111).
2. Check and adjust tire pressures.
Front 19 to 21 psi; Rear 8 to 12 psi.
Tires May have been over inflated for shipping purposes.
3.
Place the Mower on a level surface. Using the lift handle, raise the
Mower deck to a height which will allow Measurements to be taken from
the surface to the tops of the two outer Mower deck cutter blades (P/N
8688).
4. Align both outer Mower deck cutter blades to obtain a side to side
Measurement. Starting with the left blade as viewed from operator's position,
secure Measurement from level surface to the bottom of the - cutter blade tip,
rotate blade and check Measurement on opposite end of cutter blade. Tip to
tip measurement on the same cutter blade should not vary more than 1/8th of an
inch. Maintain measurement taken and verify against the right outer cutter
blade. If adjustment is required, loosen or tighten the nuts on the two rear L-
rods.
5. Align both outer mower deck cutter blades front to rear as viewed from
operator's position. Measure from surface to the bottom of the cutter blade
tip, at the rear of the mower deck. Using the nut on the single front L-rod,
loosen or tighten as required to place the mower deck at an attitude of
approximately l/8th of an inch higher in the rear than the front of the deck.
6 . Recheck belt routing and alignment, start engine, burnish in electric blade
clutch using at least (5) engagements at 3/4 to full throttle settings. Each
engagement should last approximately (6) seconds.
Note; The completed adjustment places the mower deck in an attitude or
position which will produce a quality cut. Ground speed, grass conditions,
types of grass, tire pressures, dull or bent blades and loose belts are just
some of the factors which will cause poor cut quality.
