Deck Leveling Adjustment
NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift
rod timing must be checked and/or adjusted.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface.
Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage
the parking brake. Rear tires must be inflated to
18 psi (1,24 bar).
2. Adjust the mower deck in the 4” (10,2 cm) position.
3. Place 2 X 4 blocks under each corner of the
mower deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical.
Place a 1/4” (0,64 cm) thick spacer on top of the
rear 2 X 4” blocks. See Figure 40.
4. Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight
and the deck is still resting on the 2 X 4’s. Tighten
the jam nuts. See Figure 41.
5. Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to
rest on the 2 X 4’s and 1/4” spacers. Slide the
chains down in the slots until the chains are tight
and tighten the nuts. See Figure 41.
6. Remove all 2 X 4 blocks and spacers from under
the mower.
7. See Figure 42. Position the outside mower blades
so they face front-to-back.
8. Measure from the front tip of the blade from the
cutting edge to the ground. Measure from the
rear tip of the blade from the cutting edge to the
ground. Repeat this process for the other side of
the machine.
• The front measurement should be 4” (10,2 cm);
• The back measurement should be 4-1/4” (11,43
cm).
Deck Lift Assist Spring
The deck lift assist springs (A, Figure 43) are factory
set to provide optimal lifting performance.
Although it is fastened with a multi-position anchor,
this is NOT AN ADJUSTMENT POINT.
Do NOT attempt to adjust the spring length or lifting
performance will be compromised.
CAUTION
Avoid injury! Mower blades are sharp.
Always wear gloves when handling blades or
working near blades.
