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.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•Without the grass deflector, discharge

cover, or complete grass catcher assembly

mounted in place, you and others are

exposed to blade contact and thrown

debris.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and

thrown debris will cause injury or death.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

•

NEVER r

emove 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

Installation

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).

3” to 4” Height-of-Cut Range

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

range the mower is suspended from the tractor. There

is one side-to-side adjustment for this height range.

1. Park the machine on a level 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” (4.762mm), an adjustment

is required; refer to steps 4 and 6.

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 0–1/8” (0–3.2 mm) lower

than the rear blade tip, adjust the blade slope using

the following instructions:

1. Park the machine on a level 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 6.

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. 11).

5. Measure between the tip of the front blade

(Fig. 11). and the tip of the rear blade to the flat

surface. If the front blade tip is not 0–1/8”

(0–3.2 mm) lower than the rear blade tip adjust

front adjustment link.
