CARE AND MAINTENANCE
LEVELING THE DECK:
A.
Set the tire pressure on all four tires.
B.
Move the tractor to a hard, level surface (i.e.
concrete or blacktop). Place a 2x4 board under
all four corners of the deck shell, just inside the
anti-scalping wheels. Lower the deck down onto
the boards. The deck must rest on the boards,
not on the anti-scalping wheels. Adjust the deck
hangers longer or shorter until the deck “just”
comes off of the boards. Remove the boards
and verify that the deck is hanging on all four
deck hangers, re-adjust if necessary. Lock the
jam nuts on the deck hangers. (Note: the two
rear deck hangers will be easier to adjust if the
fender skirts are removed.)
