SECTION7: MAKINGADJUSTMENTS
_ ARNING: Never attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in the Operator's
Manual. Place tractor on a firm and level
surface. Place the PTO in the disengaged
(OFF) position, set the parking brake, shut
engine off, and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
LiftAdjustment
If the lift index rod doesn't latch securely or the pivot
release has too much slack in it, an adjustment can be
made as follows:
• Loosen the upper hex nut a few turns, then tighten
the lower hex nut to shorten the cable length. See
Figure 19.
• Loosen the lower hex nut a few turns, then tighten
the upper hex nut to lengthen the cable. See Figure
