Adjusting the Deck Wheels
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not designed to
support the weight of the cutting deck. The deck wheels should be approximately
1/4-1/2" (6.35-12.7 mm) above the ground when the deck is set in the desired height
setting. To adjust the deck wheels see the Assembly section for instructions.
Lapbar Drive Control Lever Stop Adjustment
When the lapbar drive control levers are both fully extended forward to the full-
speed position and the tractor drifts left or right, the lapbar drive control lever stop
adjustment can be adjusted to sync the wheel speeds. To perform the adjustment,
proceed as follows:
1. Identify the side that
the tractor is drifting to
and adjust the opposite
lapbar drive control
lever. If the tractor
drifts right, adjust the
left lapbar drive control
lever down (decrease
speed) and vice versa.
2. Locate the lapbar drive
control lever stop
adjustment bolts (a)
on the front of the seat
frame. See Figure 44.
NOTE: The multi-tool (if equipped) can be used to make this adjustment.
3. To decrease the forward speed, turn the lapbar drive control lever stop
adjustment bolts (a) clockwise. To increase the forward speed, turn the
lapbar drive control lever stop adjustment bolts (a) counter-clockwise. Turn
the lapbar drive control lever stop adjustment bolts (a) in the necessary
direction 1⁄4-turn at a time. After turning the lapbar drive control lever stop
adjustment bolts (a), check the adjustment by driving the tractor.
4. Continue the adjustment until the wheel speeds are in sync and the tractor
drives straight with the drive control levers fully extended forward in the
full-speed position.
NOTE: Make sure the bolts extend through the nuts on the frame to engage
the locking feature.
Service
Electrical System
A fuse is installed to protect the tractor's electrical system from damage caused
by excessive amperage. Always use the same capacity fuse for replacement. If the
electrical system does not function, check for a blown fuse.
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the tractor's electrical
system checked by your authorized service dealer.
Relays and Switches
There are several safety switches in the electrical system. If a function of the safety
interlock system described earlier is not functioning properly, have the electrical
system checked by your authorized service dealer.
Parking Brake Adjustment
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the control levers are moved
fully outward engaging the parking brake, or if the tractor's rear wheels can
roll with the parking brake engaged (and the hydrostatic relief valve open), the
brake is in need of adjustment. See your authorized service dealer to have the
brake adjusted.

Deck Removal
Remove the tractor deck from the tractor as follows:
1. Move the tractor to a level surface, disengage the PTO, stop the engine,
place the RH and LH drive control levers fully outward into the Park Brake
engaged position.
2. There are two methods for removing the belt, to remove the belt by
releasing belt tension go on to Step 3, to remove the belt by rolling the belt
off the PTO pulley skip ahead to Step 4.
Use caution to avoid pinching your fingers when rolling the belt off the
PTO pulley.
3. Release belt tension:
a. Using the deck lift pedal and knob,
raise the deck to the position that
provides the most horizontal run
of the belt between the deck idler
pulleys and the PTO pulley on the
bottom of the engine.
b. Remove the idler spring from the
wireframe spring hook on the right
side of the center of the deck. See
Figure 45.
4. Roll the belt off the PTO pulley:
a. Raise the deck to the position that
provides the most horizontal run of the belt between the deck idler
pulleys and the PTO pulley on the bottom of the engine.
b. Sitting behind the tractor facing forward, reach beneath the tractor
to grasp the belt at the front of the PTO pulley.
c. Pull the left side of the belt rearward and downward while manually
turning the PTO pulley to the right until the belt rides out onto the
edge of the lower sheave of the pulley.
NOTE: If pulling the right side of the belt, turn the pulley left.
d. While still
holding the
PTO belt (a)
downward,
continue turning
the PTO pulley
(b) until the PTO
belt (a) is rolled
off the PTO
pulley (b). Refer
to Figure 46.
e. Lower the deck
into the lowest
mowing position.
The deck lift is spring-assisted and under tension. Injury can occur if
spring-assisted deck lift is released suddenly. Always use the multi-tool to
secure the deck lift in place. Do not attempt to use the deck lift pedal while
the deck is locked with the multi-tool in this way.
