TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING
Adjust the mower while tractor is parked
on level ground or driveway. Make sure

manual). If tires are over or underin-
flated, you will not properly adjust your
mower.

, Raise mower to its highest position°
• Measure height from bottom edge of
mower to ground level at front corners
of mower. Distance '_' on both sides of
mower should be the same.
, If adjustment is necessary, make adjust-
ment on one side of mower onlyo
, To raise one side of mower, tighten lift
link adjustment nut on that side,
° To lower one side of mower, loosen lift
link adjustment nut on that side.
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut
will change mower height about 3/16".
• Recheck measurements after adjusting.
