DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck
lift rod timing must be checked and if necessary,
adjusted.
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine, engage the parking
brake, and remove the key from the ignition. Make
sure that all of the tires are properly inflated.
2. Crank the deck height adjustment handle so the
cutting height indicator points to the 3.25” (8,26
cm). See Figure 27.
3. Manually position the left hand mower blade so
that the blade is pointing towards the front and
back of the mower.
4. Measure from the front tip of the blade on the
cutting edge to the ground. Record this distance.
5. Measure from the back tip of the blade on the
cutting edge to the ground. Record this distance.
6. Repeat steps # 3 - 5 for the right hand blade.
7. Place blocking under each corner of the mower
deck until the front of the blade to the ground
measures 3-1/4” (8,3 cm) and the back of the
blade to the ground measures 3-1/2” (8,9 cm).
8. Loosen the hardware that tightens the bottom of
the hanger chain (D, Figure 29) to the deck. Slide
the chains down in the slots until the chains are
tight and tighten the nuts. See Figure 29.
9. Remove the blocks from under the deck.
10. Repeat steps # 3 - 6 to check the blade height
measurements. The front measurement should
be 3-1/4” and the rear measurement should be
3-1/2”. If the measurements are correct, no further
adjustment is necessary. If they are not correct,
continue with Step 11.
11. Loosen the jam nut (A, Figure 29) on the adjuster
bolt (B) in the chain hanger clevis (C). Turn the
adjuster bolt until the correct measurements are
achieved. Ensure that all four hanger chains are
taut, then retighten the jam nut against the chain
hanger clevis.
WARNING
Mower blades are sharp. For your personal
safety, do not handle mower blades with bare
hands. Careless or improper handling of
blades may result in serious injury or death.
