MAINTENANCE
Deck Lift Spring
When mowing 2" or lower, it may be necessary to
adjust the deck lift springs. Access the springs by
tilting the seat forward. Loosen the nut to adjust
the spring tension.
Park Brake
Visually check that no damage is found on the
lever, links, or switch belonging to the park brake.
Perform a standstill test and check that there is
sufficient braking.
WARNING! Faulty adjustment will result
in reduced braking and can cause an accident.
Park Brake Adjustments

mower up off the ground. Make sure the
machine is securely supported.
2. Remove the rear tire assemblies.
3. Release the park brake.
