5. If the spring is not within this range release the parking brake

and turn the adjustment nut (B) to compress or release the

spring.

6. Engage the parking brake and re-measure spring.

CAUTION

Do not adjust the spring to be shorter than 1-15/16" (4,9 cm)

when compressed. This may damage the brake mechanism.

If this does not correct the braking problem, see your

dealer.

Deck Lift Rod Timing Adjustment

Checking the Deck Lift Rod Timing

1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO,

stop the engine, and engage the parking brake. Verify the

tires are inflated to the correct pressure.

2. To check the inner lift rod (A, Figure 42) timing, measure

and record the distance between the inner lift pivots (B) and

the inner rod pivots (C). Repeat for other side of unit.

3. To check the outer lift rod (D) timing, measure and record

the distance between the outer lift pivots (E) and the outer

rod pivots (F). Repeat for other side of unit.

4. If the measurements for the inner rods are equal, and the

measurements for the outer rods are equal, no further

adjustment is required. If the measurements are NOT equal

(greater than 1/8” (3,17 mm) difference), adjustment is

required, continue with Adjusting the Deck Lift Rod Timing.

Adjusting the Deck Lift Rod Timing

1. Lock the deck lift pedal in the 5” (12,7cm) position. Remove

the height adjustment pin (A, Figure 43) and lower the mower

deck.

2. To ensure that the deck is in the lowest position, push the

pedal by hand towards the rear of the unit and install the

height adjustment pin in the 3” (7.6 cm) position to hold in

place.

3. Block up the mower deck until all hanger chains are slack.

4. To adjust the inner lift rod (A, Figure 44): Loosen the jam nut

(B) on the front ball joint (C) then remove the 1/2” hardware

(D) fastening the ball joint to the lift pivot arm. Turn the ball

joint clockwise to shorten the distance between the rod

pivots or counter-clockwise to lengthen the distance

between the rod pivots. Reinstall the ball joint on the lift pivot

arm and secure with the 1/2” hardware previously removed.

Tighten the jam nut against the lift rod.
