The warning system in this manual identifies potential

hazards and has special safety messages that help you and

others avoid personal injury, even death. DANGER,

WARNING and CAUTION are signal words used to

identify the level of hazard. However, regardless of the

hazard, be extremely careful.

DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause

serious injury or death if the recommended precautions

are not followed.

WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious injury

or death if the recommended precautions are not followed.

CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or

moderate injury if the recommended precautions are not

followed.

Two other words are also used to highlight information.

“Important” calls attention to special mechanical

information and “Note” emphasizes general information

worthy of special attention.

The left and right side of the machine is determined by

sitting on the seat in the normal operator’s position.

Important Grass deflector must be spring loaded in

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or

contact and thrown debris.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and

thrown debris will cause injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•NEVER remove the grass deflector from the

mower because the grass deflector routes

material down toward the turf. If the grass

deflector is ever damaged, replace it

immediately.

•Never put your hands or feet under the mower.

•Never try to clear discharge area or mower

blades unless you move the power take off

(PTO) to “OFF” and rotate the ignition key to

“OFF.” Also remove the key and pull the wire

off the spark plug(s).

Assembly

Transport Height Adjustment

Transport height is set at the factory and should not need

adjustment; however if the belt covers contact the footrest

in the raised position, adjustment is required.

Side-to-Side Mower Leveling

The mower blades must be level from side to side. Check

the side-to-side level any time you install the mower or

when you see an uneven cut on your lawn. Before you

level the mower, set the air pressure in the front and rear

tires to 12 psi (.85 kPa).

2-3/4” to 4” Height-of-Cut Range

When the mower height-of-cut is set to the 2-3/4” to 4”

range the mower is suspended from the tractor.

1. Park the tractor on a flat surface, disengage the power

take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the

ignition key to “OFF” to stop the engine. Remove the

key.

2. Raise attachment lift lever all the way to the latched

position.

3. Carefully rotate blade(s) side to side (Fig. 8). Measure

between the outside cutting edges and the flat surface

(Fig. 8). If both measurements are not within 3/16”, an

adjustment is required; refer to steps 4 and 6.

6. Now check the front-to-rear blade slope; refer to

Front-to-Rear Blade Slope, page 8.

3/4” to 2-3/4” Height-of-Cut Range

When the mower height-of-cut is set to the 3/4” to 2-3/4”

range the rear gage wheels contact the ground. There is no

side-to-side adjustment for this height range, see

Front-to-Rear Blade Slope.

Front-to-Rear Blade Slope

Check the front-to-rear blade slope any time you install

the mower. Before checking the slope, set air pressure in

the front and rear tires to 12 psi (.85 kPa). If the front

blade tip is not 0–3/8” (0–9.5 mm) lower than the rear

blade tip, adjust the blade slope using the following

instructions:

1. Park the tractor on a flat surface, disengage the power

take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the

ignition key to “OFF” to stop the engine. Remove the

key.

2. Check and adjust side-to-side blade level if you have

not checked the setting; refer to Side-to-Side Mower

Leveling, page 7.

3. Adjust the Dial-A-Height knob so the height-of-cut is

in the middle of the range and lower attachment lift.

4. Carefully rotate blades so they are facing front and

rear (Fig. 10).

5. Measure between the tip of the front blade (Fig. 10)

and the tip of the rear blade to the flat surface. If the

front blade tip is not 0–3/8” (0–9.5 mm) lower than the

rear blade tip adjust front adjustment link.
