Safe Maintenance & Adjustment Practices

This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death. s Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running when servicing or making adjustments to tractor. Place control levers in the park brake position, disengage deck clutch, remove ignition switch key and disconnect the negative battery cable. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available when engine must be operated in an enclosed area.
s s
Follow daily and weekly checklists, making sure hoses are tightly secured and bolts are tightened. Keep your machine clean and remove any deposits of trash and clippings, which can cause engine fires and hydraulic overheating as well as excessive belt wear. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool before storing. Clean flammable material from machine. Prevent fires by keeping engine compartment, battery, hydraulic lines, fuel line, fuel tank and operators station clean of accumulated trash, grass clippings, and other debris. Always clean up spilled fuel and oil. Always wear adequate ear protection, such as earplugs, when operating this equipment as prolonged exposure to uncomfortable or loud noises can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Do not wear radios or music headphones while operating the machinery. Safe operation requires your full attention. Never put hands or feet under any part of the machine while it is running. Except when changing or checking belt, always keep belt covers on mower for safety as well as cleanliness. Stop the engine before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the discharge chute. Never clear the discharge chute with the engine running. Turn off the engine and be sure the blades have stopped before cleaning. Use a stick to clear a plugged discharge area. Never use your hand! 9-13

Exercise caution when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating the mower. Never leave machine unattended with ignition key in switch, especially with children present. Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the area. Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing the battery, hydraulic system, cooling system or when grinding mower blades and removing accumulated debris. Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. Never refuel tractor while engine is running; never refuel near an open flame or near devices which can create a spark. Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well ventilated areas. Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause. Never run the engine in an enclosed area unless exhaust is vented to the outside. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide which is odorless and deadly poison. Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to the tractor drive system, mower deck or any attachment while the tractor engine is running or deck clutch is engaged. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack stands. Make certain machine is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack stands should not allow the machine to move when the engine is running and the drive wheels are rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only appropriate jack stands, with a minimum weight rating of 2000 pounds to block the unit up. Use in pairs only. Follow the instructions supplied with the vehicle stands. Before working on or under the deck, make certain engine cannot be accidentally started. Shut engine off and remove ignition switch key for maximum safety. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. Use a stick or similar instrument to clean under the mower making sure that no part of the body, especially arms and hands are under mower. Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower blades are extremely sharp. Wearing gloves or wrapping the blade(s) is advisable when working around or with the blades. Do not touch hot parts of machine. Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good condition. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Grass collection system components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturers recommended parts, when necessary. Use only genuine Hustler replacement parts to ensure that original standards are maintained
s s s s s s
Using a ramp
s s
Use extreme caution when loading and unloading a unit with a ramp. Use only a single, full width ramp; do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit. Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the tractor frame to contact if the unit starts to tip backwards. It also reduces the risk of a wheel going off and the machine tipping over. Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck. When on a ramp avoid sudden acceleration

Introduction
Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costly downtime or expensive, premature repair. The following pages contain suggested maintenance information and schedules which the operator should follow on a routine basis. Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance. Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and under the seat platform areas; minute dust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies. 9-18 108277 05/10
Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and string tangles. The underside of the mower deck will collect a build-up of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grass is wet or has high moisture content. This build-up will harden, restricting blade and air movement and will probably show a poorer quality of cutting. Therefore it should be removed routinely. To do this it will be necessary to raise and block the deck, using jack stands or blocks, in the full up position and scrape the build-up from underneath. Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Consult your Hustler service center when assistance is needed.
Torque values
Torque values are given below:
WHEEL (LUG) NUTS BLADE SPINDLE BOLT TOP BLADE SPINDLE BOLT BOTTOM 65-75 FT.-LBS. 118 FT.-LBS. 118FT.-LBS.
Lug nuts only - It is recommended that these be checked after the first 2 hours of operation, initially, every 50 hours and following removal for repair or replacement. For all other torques refer to the various tractor parts manuals for standard torque chart. See page 21 for ordering information. For engine torque values, see engine owners manual.
Tires
It is important for level mowing that the tires have the same amount of air pressure. The recommended pressure are:
DRIVE WHEELS FRONT WHEELS 8-12 PSI 8-12 PSI
Solid fill tires are not recommended for Hustler turf equipment. On any machine, with solid filled tires, the warranty claim will be denied. WARNING: Explosive separation of a tire and rim can cause serious injury or death. Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the task. Always maintain the correct tire pressure and never over inflate. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly as an explosion may occur. Welding can weaken or deform a wheel. When inflating tires stand to one side and not in front of or over the tire assembly. Check tires for low pressure, blemishes, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Lubrication
1. Grease the front gauge wheel bearings per the Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease. 2. Grease the four deck lift pivots, located to the side of the operators footrest per the Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease.
Electrical system
The electrical system is a 12-volt, negative ground. Recommended battery size is a garden tractor BCI group U1R with 225 or better cranking AMP rating. A maintenance-free battery is recommended. Otherwise, follow battery manufacturers maintenance, safety, storing and charging specifications.

FIG. 38 WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. WARNING: Avoid skin and clothing contact with battery acid. Always wear eye protection when checking the battery, acid can cause serious injury to skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with clean water and call physician immediately. Acid will also damage clothing. Do not drink the battery electrolyte. Do not allow open flame near the battery when charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is both toxic and flammable and may cause an explosion if exposed to flame. Always remove the negative ground first and replace it last. Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte may overflow and damage paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the battery, use soap and water. Be careful not to get soap and water into the battery. Clean the battery terminals with a solution of four parts water and one part baking soda when they become corroded. WARNING: Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools touching metal tractor components can cause sparks. Sparks can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury. Prevent the battery terminals from touching any metal tractor parts when removing or installing the battery. Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal tractor parts. WARNING: Incorrect battery cable routing could cause damage to the tractor and battery cables. This can cause sparks which can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury. Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable. Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable. Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting, corroded or dirty terminals; loose connections, defective wire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids and ignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or open circuit. The electrical system is protected by fuses located on the right fuel tank instrument panel. FIG. 39 The fuses are as follows:

Access to ZT2800 transaxles

The integrated pump/motor units are accessed by lifting the seat platform. The seat platform is hinged at the front. To raise it, remove the lock nut and tilt seat platform up and forward. If the seat is equipped with the optional arm rest kit, make certain to place the control arms in the park brake position and pivot the arm rests upward before placing the seat platform in the full forward position to prevent damage to the arm rests.
Hydraulic system
The FasTrak 48/54 is equipped with two Hydro-Gear ZT 2800 transaxles (FIG. 38). IMPORTANT: Never use hydraulic or automatic transmission fluid in this system; use only motor oil as specified. Remember, dirt is the primary enemy of any hydraulic system. The hydraulic expansion tank is located in front of the engine and under the operators platform (FIG. 40). Check oil level in hydraulic system prior to each use. Check more often if system appears to be leaking or otherwise malfunctioning. Fluid level should be at the Full Cold line on the expansion tank. Use only SAE 20W50 SL service motor oil. Change the system oil and filters after the first 75 hours of use or 1 year whichever comes first. Thereafter, replace filter and oil in each transaxle every 2 years or 200 hours, whichever comes first. NOTE: The filter guard must be removed to access filter. Each transaxles filter is located per FIG. 41. A standard oil filter wrench is used to change filter, threads are right handed. Use a Hustler approved filter element only.

Fluid changing procedure

1. Park the unit on a level surface. Place control levers in the park brake position, disengage deck clutch, remove ignition switch key and disconnect negative battery cable. 2. Remove the three 1/4 filter guard screws and filter guard. Clean any loose debris from around the filter (FIG. 42). 3. Place an oil drain pan beneath the oil filter and remove the oil filter from the transaxle. By removing the filter, this also drains the system oil. 4. After the oil has been drained, wipe the filter base surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new replacement filter. 5. Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to one full turn after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface. 6. Re-install the filter guard with three 1/4 screws. Torque the screws to 65 in.-lbs. each. 7. Repeat steps 2 - 6 for the opposite side transaxle. 8. Drain oil filters of all free flowing oil prior to disposal. Place used oil in appropriate containers. 9. Remove the top port plug from the left side and right side transaxles prior to filling with oil. This will allow the transaxles to vent during oil fill (FIG. 42). 10. Remove the cap from the transaxle's expansion tank. 11. Fill oil reservoir with 20W-50 motor oil until oil just appears at the bottom of each transaxles top port (approximately 2 qts. per transaxle, 4 qts. total). Install the top port plug into each transaxle as the oil level reaches this port. 9-22 108277 05/10
12. Install and torque the top port plugs to 180 in. lbs. 13. Continue to fill the transaxles through the expansion tank until the Full Cold line is reached on the expansion tank. 14. Re-install the expansion tank cap by hand. Be careful not to overtighten. 15. Proceed to the purge procedure.
Purging Procedures
The following procedures are best performed with the vehicle drive wheels off the ground. Then repeated under normal operating conditions. If this is not possible, then the procedure should be performed in an open area free of any objects or bystanders. 1. Disengage the brake if activated. 2. With the bypass valve open and the engine running, slowly move the directional control in both forward and reverse directions (5 or 6 times). 3. With the bypass valve closed and the engine running, slowly move the directional control in both forward and reverse directions (5 to 6 times). Check the oil level, and add oil as required after stopping the engine. 4. It may be necessary to repeat Steps 2 and 3 until all the air is completely purged from the system. When the transaxle operates at normal noise levels and moves smoothly forward and reverse at normal speeds, then the transaxle is considered purged.
Fuel system
DANGER: Observe usual fuel handling precautions: Do not smoke while refueling. Do not fill tank with engine running or while engine is hot. Clean up any gasoline spills. Allow engine to cool before storing machine inside a building. Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and store machine away from open flame or spark if there is fuel in the tank. Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well ventilated areas. Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause. Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline. Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer as interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge. When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the equipment on the truck or trailer using a portable container and not a gasoline dispenser nozzle. If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
WARNING: Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or conditioner opening. Keep gas away from eyes and skin. The fuel tanks are located in the tractors fenders (FIG. 43). Total capacity for the fuel tanks is 10 U.S. gallons (38 liter). When filling the fuel tanks disengage deck clutch, place control levers in park brake position, and stop tractor engine. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap and begin filling. When finished, screw the cap on securely and wipe up any spilled gasoline. Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the tractor can provide benefits such as: 1. Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tanks. 2. Cleans the engine during operation. 3. Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system. 108277 05/10 9-23

Belt replacement
FIG. 51 and FIG. 53 show diagrams and descriptions of the units belt drive systems. Inspect these belts frequently for wear and serviceability. Replace a belt that shows signs of severe cuts, tears, separation, weather checking and cracking, or burns caused by slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does not indicate failure, trim ravelling with a sharp knife. WARNING: If the pump belt fails, loss of control will occur especially when operating on a slope. If you lose steering control while operating the machine, place the steering control levers in the park brake position immediately. Inspect the machine and involve your Hustler dealer to resolve the problem before continuing to operate. Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new belt, or one in good condition, should never run against the bottom of the groove. Replace the pulley when this is the case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip excessively. Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or damage the fibers of the belt covering. Keep oil and grease away from belts, and never use belt dressings. Any of these will destroy the belt composition in a very short time.

Mower blade maintenance

Check the mower blades daily, they are the key to power efficiency and well groomed turf. Keep them sharp, a dull blade will tear rather than cut the grass, leaving a brown ragged top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade also requires more power from the engine. Replace any blade which is bent, cracked or broken. WARNING: Never attempt to straighten a bent blade by heating, or weld a cracked or broken blade as the blade may break and cause serious injury. Replace worn or damaged blades.
WARNING: Never work with blades while engine is running or deck clutch switch is engaged (on). Always place deck clutch switch in the disengaged position, place control levers in the park brake position and turn engine off and disconnect negative battery cable. Block up mower when you must work under it. Wear gloves when handling blades. Always check for blade damage if mower strikes rock, branch or other foreign object during mowing! WARNING: Always wear adequate eye protection when grinding mower blades.

Blade Lock Tool, part number 381442, is available from your dealer to prevent the blades from turning while removing or and installing the blade bolts. Sharpen the blades on a grinder following pattern as shown (FIG. 55). Touch-up sharpening can be done with a file. Check the blades for balance following grinding. A commercial balancing tool is available through most hardware supply stores, or balancing can be done by placing the blade on an inverted line punch or 5/8" bolt. Blade should not lean or tilt. Spin the blade slowly, blade should not wobble. If blade is out of balance, true it up before reinstalling. Lay the blade on a flat surface and check for distortion (FIG. 56 and FIG. 57). Replace any distorted blade. Do not re-use spindle bolts which have stripped, worn or undercut threads. Torque bolts on spindles to 118 footpounds when reinstalling blades. IMPORTANT: The blade sail (curved part) must be pointing upward toward the inside of the deck to ensure proper cutting. WARNING: When mounting blades, rotate them after installation to ensure blade tips do not touch each other or sides of the mower. WARNING: Failure to correctly torque the bolt may result in the loss of the blade which can cause serious injury. WARNING: Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.

Adjustment
Introduction
Your FasTrak 48/54 was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during pre delivery setup. However, after start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in wear will cause some adjustments to change. Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance. Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and under the seat platform areas; minute dust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies. Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Consult your Hustler service center when assistance is needed.

Steering linkage
The neutral adjustment for the control levers in the neutral position is discussed in this section. The tractor steering has been factory adjusted to eliminate creeping when the control levers are in the neutral position (FIG. 61). However, should the tractor begin to creep, the control lever linkage can be adjusted as follows:
CONTROL LEVER
CONTROL LEVER IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION FIG. 61 CONTROL LEVER NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT Before considering any adjustment, check the tire air pressure. Unequal tire pressure will cause the tractor to drift to one side. Refer to tire pressure information in the Maintenance section of this manual. NOTE: Proper park brake adjustment must be completed before the control lever neutral adjustment can be done. Fine adjustment to the units steering is made with the transaxle control rod. (FIG. 62). Neutral is properly adjusted when the control levers are in the park brake position and the ZT 2800 transaxles do not whine. If this occurs, the control linkage may be adjusted as follows: 1. Raise and block the tractor frame keeping the rear drive tires free and clear of any obstructions so they are free to rotate. The engine will be running and tires rotating during this operation. (FIG. 64). WARNING: Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack stands. Make certain machine is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack stands should not allow the machine to move when the engine is running and the drive wheels are rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only appropriate jack stands, with a minimum weight rating of 2000 pounds to block the unit up. Use in pairs only. Follow the instructions supplied with the vehicle stands. 2. Tilt the seat platform forward. Temporarily bypass the seat switch. 3. Loosen the rear dampener ball stud nut as shown in FIG. 65. The dampener will be adjusted and tightened after neutral is reset. 4. Staying clear of the rear drive tires, start the engine. If the ZT 2800 transaxles whine, then the neutral setting needs to be re-adjusted. In this operation you will need to adjust one side at a time. If either side whines significantly, then the control lever needs to be pushed into the operating position, disengaging the brake. Most likely when the brake is disengaged, the drive wheel will begin to rotate even though the control lever is in the neutral position.

The steering dampener now needs to be adjusted and tightened (FIG. 65). 13. IMPORTANT: Reconnect the seat switch and make sure the seat switch is operating properly. Refer to the machines owners manual for operation check. WARNING: Do not operate machine without a properly functioning seat safety switch.
Steering dampener
The steering dampener (FIG. 65) is spring loaded to return the control levers to the neutral position from the reverse position. This gives the operator a sense of neutral during operation. If the tractor does not return to neutral from reverse then adjust as follows: To set the steering dampeners in the correct operating position follow these steps: 1. Shut engine off, place control levers in the park brake position, disengage deck clutch, remove ignition switch key and disconnect negative battery cable before doing any adjustments. 2. Place the control lever in the neutral position (FIG. 61). 3. Loosen the steering dampeners rear ball stud (FIG. 65). 4. Pull the dampener spring housing, to the rear, past the point that the internal spring is engaged. 5. Release the dampener spring housing and allow the internal spring to bring the housing back to the neutral position. 6. Tighten the nut on the steering dampeners rear ball stud. 7. To check, move the control lever to the reverse position and release. The control lever should return to the neutral position. If not, repeat steps 1 through 6.

DRIVE STRAIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
JAM NUT CAP SCREW
FIG. 66 1. Initially adjust cap screws all the way in so that the steering levers may go fully forward. 2. Drive tractor in an open area with both steering handles fully forward. The tractor will likely drift slightly to the left or right. 3. Whichever direction the tractor turns is the slow side. Leave the slow side cap screw and jam nut so that they are flush with the frame. Holding the cap screw in place, lock the jam nut. 4. On the fast side, through several iterations, back out the cap screw gradually until the fast side is slowed to the same speed as the other side and the tractor drives straight. After adjustment is finished, hold the cap screw still and tighten the jam nut.
Park brake spring adjustment

Occasionally check the park brake spring adjustment using the following method: 1. Shut engine off, place control levers in the park brake position, disengage deck clutch, remove ignition switch key and disconnect negative battery cable before doing any adjustments. 2. Position the control lever in the park brake position. 3. Measure the park brake spring. It should be compressed to 1-7/16. If it is not, adjust the nylock nut until the proper spring compression is achieved (FIG. 67). 1-7/16" COMPRESSED SPRING LENGTH

Hydraulic pump belt adjustment

The transaxle drive belt tension remains constant by means of a tension idler and spring (FIG. 68). There is no tension adjustment of this belt. NOTE: NOTE: Inspect the belt every 100 hours and replace as needed. Replace the belt every 200 hours or every two (2) years whichever comes first. 108277 05/10 9-35
WARNING: If the transaxle belt fails, loss of control will occur especially when operating on a slope. If you lose steering control while operating the machine, place the steering control levers in the park brake position immediately. Inspect the machine and involve your Hustler dealer to resolve the problem before continuing to operate.
TENSION IDLER SPRING PUMP DRIVE BELT

Deck drive belt adjustment

The spindle belt tension remains constant by means of a tension idler and spring (FIG. 69). The spring tension should be such that the belt does not slip under normal operating load conditions, assuming the belt is not excessively ANCHOR BRACKET SPRING

worn or damaged. As belt stretches and wears in, adjustment may become necessary. To increase belt tension, move the spring chain one (or more) link(s) at the anchor bracket (FIG. 69). Installed spring length should be 7.50" .3" originally with adjustments of .60" per chain link (FIG. 69). IMPORTANT: Do not over tension the spring to compensate for a badly worn belt or pulley.
Engine RPM setting

The FasTrak 48/54 is designed so that the engine will run at 3450 rpm with transaxle load only. At this speed the transaxles are running at their maximum rated speed.
Deck leveling and height adjustment

The mower deck has three areas that may need to be checked and adjusted periodically. Before considering any mower deck leveling adjustments, check that the tire air pressure is within the specified range.

DECK LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS Leveling the deck must be done in the following manner and order: 1. Check tire pressures to make certain they are properly inflated before starting to level deck. The recommended pressures are as follows:
DRIVE WHEELS FRONT WHEELS 8-12 PSI 8-12 PSI
WARNING: Stop engine. Make sure deck clutch switch is in the down (OFF) position. Remove ignition key. Place control levers in the brake position before leaving machine. 2. Park the unit on a flat surface. 3. Raise deck and place 3" of blocking under all 4 corners of the deck (FIG. 71). This will set the cutting height at 3 ". NOTE: Back of deck will automatically be set " higher. 4. Set cutting height at 3 " in the height indicator by placing the height adjusting stop in the 3" hole, and turning the height stop so that the flat side is against the stop handle. FIG. 72 5. Clamp the height adjusting stop against the stop handle. This will assure that the height will not move during the setting process. Otherwise, spring pressure from the deck lift springs will tend to pull the stop away from the handle. 6. Loosen all nuts on the deck lift threaded rods, and the hardware on the adjuster (on the right front), until all the deck lift chains are loose, and the deck is sitting tightly on all four blocks (FIG. 73, FIG. 74 & FIG. 75). 7. Loosen the two nuts on the front of height indicator so that the foot pedal is free (FIG. 76). 8. Start the leveling process on the left front of the tractor. STOP HANDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTING STOP
BLOCKS
FIG. 71 FIG. 72 9. Set the amount of threads protruding on the deck lift rod from the lift block at approximately 1" (FIG. 77). 10. Jam both nuts against the block. 11. Push or pull on the deck lift foot pedal until the chain on the left front just becomes tight, making sure that the deck stays tight against the 3" block. 12. While keeping the chain tight, tighten the nuts against the deck lift block on the height indicator rod (FIG. 76). 13. Go to the right front of the tractor. 14. Loosen the 5/16" jam nut on the adjuster lift chain (FIG. 75), and back the adjuster bolt out to allow the adjuster to move up and down freely. 15. Be sure that adjuster is free to move up and down. 16. Tighten the adjuster bolt until the chain just becomes tight, making sure that the deck stays tight against the 3" block. 17. Tighten the adjuster bolt jam nut to prevent the adjuster bolt from moving (FIG. 75).
