CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MOWER DECK LEVELING PRCEDURE:
1. Place mower on a smooth, level surface and check tire
pressures to insure correct stance. Tires should be
inflated as follows:
Front: 16-21 lbs
Rear: 8-14 lbs
2. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck in a side to
side manner.
3. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the
blade tip on the discharge side of the mower. Retain this
measurement. Move to the opposite side and check to
see if that measurement is the same. If adjustment is
required, turn nut on one or both of the rear L-rods until
both measurements are equal.
4. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck in a front to
rear manner.
5. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the
blade tips at both the front and rear of the blades. Rear
of blade tips should be 1/8 to 3/8 higher than the front
of blade tips. If adjustment is necessary, turn nut on front
L-rod.
Note: This will place the mower deck in a base measurement
position. Additional adjustment may be required to achieve
desired cut for the type of grass or conditions involved.
