LEVELING THE DECK
With unit on hard, level surface, measure the distance
from the bottom edge of the center of the left side of
deck to the ground. Measure the same distance on
the center of the right side of the deck, just behind the
chute area. Or, place the blades in a straight line, and
measure the distance from the outside edge of the
blade tips to the ground.
If adjustment is needed, proceed as follows.
-<--- 1. Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the
bottom of the adjustable lift link on the left side of
the deck. (Hairpin clip and flat washer are on the
inside of the lift link.)
2. Pull the adjustable lift link out of the deck hanger
channel. See figure 4. Turn the adjustable lift link
up or down as necessary to level the deck.
Usually only one or two turns are needed.
3. Insert the end of the adjustable lift link into the hole
in the deck hanger channel. Recheck the adjust-
ment. Readjust if necessary.
4. When deck is level, secure end of adjustable lift
link with flat washer and hairpin clip.

the positive (red) cable are routed up through the
battery opening as shown in figure 5.
Replace the battery into the battery opening in
the same position as it was before (positive termi-
nal is toward the front of the unit).
Attach the positive (red) cable to the positive ter-
minal of the battery. Secure with hex bolt and nut
previously removed. Slide rubber boot down over
the positive terminal.
Remove the hex bolt and nut from the negative
(black) cable. Attach negative cable to the nega-
tive terminal with this bolt and nut.

in rear frame, under the fender. See figure 6.
7. Insert the drain tube through the hole in the
transaxle bracket or through the cable tie (if so
equipped) which is attached to the transaxle rein-
forcement bracket on the right side of the unit.
See figure 6. Be certain drain tube is routed away
from the wheel rim.

tube, but do not overtighten or the tube could col-
lapse. Trim excess end of cable tie.
