NOTICE: Adjust on a level surface, with the
tires inflated to the correct air pressure (see
Specifications on page 31).
There are three measurements required to
level and adjust the pitch of the mower deck.
1. The distance from the mower blades to
the ground.
2. The forward pitch of the mower blades.
3. The pitch of the mower blades from
side-to-side.
The Distance From The Mower
Blades To The Ground
(Figure 13)
• In the lowest cutting position should be
1-1/2" +
1/4" (3.8 cm + 0.64 cm).
• In the highest cutting position should
be 4-1/2" +
1/4" (11.4 cm + 0.64 cm).
The Forward Pitch Of The Mower

(Figure 14)
• Should be 0" – 1/4" (6.35 mm) pitched
forward.
