MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE:
There are a total of (4) slots which will control the attitude
or pitch of the mower deck. Deck should be level or pitched
slightly higher in rear.
A. Place the mower on a smooth level surface with front
casters positioned t owards deck. Check tire pressures
to insure the mower has a correct stance. Inflate tires as
required:
Front 16 - 21 lbs maximum
Rear: 8-14 lbs maximum
NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower
deck drive belt must be installed prior to leveling
deck.
B. Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip to
align with the deck or in a side-to-side manner.
C. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the
blade tip on the discharge side of the mower deck.
Retain this measurement. Move to the opposite side,
check that measurement is the same. If adjustment is
required, loosen the locknut and move mounting bolt up
or down in slot until both side-to-side measurements
are equal. Retain measurement.
