CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE:
There are a total of (4) threaded adjusters which will control the attitude or pitch of the mower deck. The
adjusters have lock nuts on the bottom which can be turned up or down to raise or lower the front and
rear of the mower deck. Deck should be level or pitched slightly higher in rear.
A. Place the mower on a smooth level surface, 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
B. 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, turn the nut on the bottom of
the front threaded adjuster up or down until both side to side measurements are
equal. Retain measurement.
D. Turn both outer blades to align with the deck in front to rear manner. Turn left rear
adjuster nut up or down until rear of mower deck is positioned level to 1/8th of an inch
higher in the rear than the side to side measurement. At this time, the mower deck
will be suspended on (3) points (both front adjusters and the left rear adjuster). Move
the right rear adjuster and take out the slack which will be present by turning adjuster
lock nut up.
E. Confirm measurements once again. Blade tips should be level in a side to side
manner. In the rear, blade tips should be level to 1/8" higher than side to side
measurement. In the front, blade tips should be level to 1/8" lower than side to side
measurement.
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 being mowed.
