ADJUSTING THE DECK WHEELS
WARNING
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of
the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and
are not designed to support the weight of the deck.
The deck wheels should be approximately 1/4-1/2 inch (6.35
mm-12.7 mm) above the ground when the deck is set in the
desired height setting. To adjust the deck wheels see the Set-Up
section for instructions.
SERVICE
Electrical System
A fuse is installed to protect the tractor’s electrical system from
damage caused by excessive amperage. Always use the same
capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical system does not
function, check for a blown fuse.
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have
the tractor’s electrical system checked by your authorized
service dealer.
Relays and Switches
There are several safety switches in the electrical system. If a
function of the safety interlock system described earlier is not
functioning properly, have the electrical system checked by your
authorized service dealer.
Park Brake Adjustment
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor’s rear wheels
can roll with the parking brake applied (and the hydrostatic
relief valve open), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your
authorized service dealer to have the brake adjusted.
Hydrostatic Neutral Adjustment
If the tractor creeps forward or rearward when neither the
forward nor reverse pedal is depressed, contact your local
authorized dealer to have the neutral setting properly adjusted.
Wheel Alignment
If your tractor pulls to one side or is out of alignment, a wheel
alignment might be necessary. Contact an authorized service
dealer to have the wheels properly aligned.
DECK REMOVAL
WARNING
Use caution to avoid pinching your fingers when rolling
the belt off the PTO pulley.
To remove the deck, proceed as follows:
1. Move the tractor to a level surface, disengage the PTO, stop
the engine, ENGAGE the parking brake.
