6.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately 3/4”
LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the mower
to cut the grass only once and requires less work from
the tractor. In addition, a more even distribution of the
clippings from the rear of the mower will be achieved
with this deck pitch.
1. Adjust the leveling rods linking the tongue to the rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower in
the front that than the rear. To lower the front, lengthen the leveling rods and to raise the front shorten the
leveling rods. IMPORTANT: Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and maintain equal tension in the rods.
Improper adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been
set.
LEVELING WING SECTIONS WITH CENTER
1. To level the wing sections with the deck center,
adjust the leveling screw between the wing axle
and the center axle. To lower the wing, loosen the
jamnut and shorten the screw assembly, lengthen
the screw assembly to raise the wing. After wings
are leveled, retighten jamnuts to maintain settings.
