MAINTENANCE
2. Measure from the floor surface up to the
bottom of the blade tip on the discharge side
of the mower deck. Record the measurement.
3. Move to the opposite side, check that
measurement is the same. If adjustment is
required—with a 3/4" or adjustable wrench,
turn the lift link adjustment nuts on either
side counter clockwise to lower or clockwise
to raise. Adjust until both measurements are
equal.
4. Turn either blade to align with the deck front-
to-rear. If the front blade tip does not measure
1/8" to 1/2" higher in the rear—with a 5/8" or
adjustable wrench, turn the nuts on the front
suspension linkage. Clockwise raises the front
of the mower, counter clockwise will lower the
front. Adjust nuts until rear of mower deck is
positioned level to 1/8" higher in the rear than
the side-to-side measurement.
NOTE: For illustration, the front foot rest has been
removed. The adjustment can be made without
removal.
NOTE: This will position the mower deck in a
standard measurement position. Depending on
the type of grass being mowed or environmental
conditions, additional adjustments may be
required to get the desired cut.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning, especially below the mower
deck, will increase the machine's life-span. Make
it a habit to clean the machine directly after use
(after it is cooled), before the debris sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower
deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side
of mower deck. Regularly clean the underside of
the deck with normal water pressure. Do not use
a high pressure washer or steam cleaner. Avoid
spraying engine and electrical components with
water.
For models fitted with a cleanout port, attach the
quick connect (from the accessory packet) to a
garden hose. After mowing, snap the hose to the
cleanout port and turn on water supply.
Restart the mower and engage the blades to use
the spinning action to clean away debris. Make
sure the hose is away from the mower blades.
Do not flush hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit
cool before washing.
CAUTION! Use protective glasses
when cleaning and washing.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose
or missing hardware.
