MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE:
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 blade so tips 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 blade so tips align with the deck in a front to
rear manner.
5. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of
the blade tip at both the front and rear of the blade.
Rear blade tip should be 1/8" to 1/4" higher than the
front blade tip. If adjustment is necessary, turn nut on
front L-rod.
(See Illustration B, page 40)
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.
