DECK LEVELING
1. Park the machine on a smooth, level surface.
Raise the deck to the transport position.
2. Lower the deck onto a set of equal height blocks
A under the rear corners of the deck. Place an-
other set of blocks B under the front of the deck
so that the deck top is pitched forward 1/8".
NOTE: The front and rear of the deck are at different
heights.
3. Measure the height of the blade cutting edge
above the ground. Remove pin C and set the
height of cut lever D to that height.
4. Loosen nuts I at all four corners of the deck.
NOTE: This will relieve tension on chains H.
5. Loosen the jam nuts E on the height of cut
clips F and adjusting screws G. Turn the adjust-
ing screws G until the play is taken out of the
chains H at all four corners. Tighten the jam nuts
E against the clips F and at the adjusting screws
G. Retighten nuts I at this time.
6. COUNTERBALANCE SPRINGS
a) Raise the cutterdeck all the way.
b) Adjust the spring A with nut B:
Approximately 1" of threads should be extending
past the spring mounting bracket at nut B.
The springs may be tightened or loosened from
this point according to personal preference.
