1.

Drivethe tractorto a level,clearspot on your lawn,near enough
for yourgardenhoseto reach.

Beforelubricating,repairing,or inspecting,alwaysdisengagePTO,

the Deck (Front To Rear)

Thefront of the cuttingdeck is supportedby a stabilizerbar that can
be adjustedto levelthe deckfrom front to rear.Thefront of the deck
shouldbe between1/4-inchand 3/8-inchlowerthanthe rear of the
