4. To change the side-to-side leveling, move the thrust
washers on one caster wheel fork only. Move the thrust
washers from the top of the carrier frame mounting tube
to the bottom to raise the corresponding side of the
mower. Move the thrust washers from the bottom of the
mounting tube to the top to lower the corresponding
side of the mower. (Fig. 20).
5. Recheck the front-to-rear pitch of the cutting unit.
Greasing the Bearings and
Bushings
The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. Refer to the
Recommended Maintenance Schedule on page 10. Grease
with No. 2 general purpose lithium base or molybdenum
base grease.
1. Stop the engine, remove the key and disconnect the
spark plug wire(s) from the spark plug(s).
2. Grease the fittings on both spindle bearings (Fig. 24).
Note: You can access the spindle grease fittings through the
holes in the mower deck cover.
3. Grease the fittings on the carrier frame mounting tubes
and caster wheels (Fig. 23).
