DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
(DDSH Models only)
1. Make sure there is one spacer above and below the
frame on the front caster shafts and place hairpin
clips in the 2” cutting height position (see Figure 17).
2. Rotate the blade on the RIGHT-HAND side (dis-
charge side) until the tip faces the front of the
machine.

3. Loosen the jam nuts (A, Figure 18) located on the
front deck hanger shafts (B, Figure 18). Turn the
right side shaft until a cutting height of 2” is obtained
at the very tip of the blade towards the front of the
machine.
4. Now place a straight edge on top of the cutter deck
approximately 1” to the outside of the front deck
mount on the right side and measure to the floor
(see Figure 19). Record your measurement.
5. Repeat the measuring procedure listed in Step 4 for
the left-hand side of the mower deck.
6. Compare the measurements taken in Step 4 & 5. If
they differ by more than 1/16”, the front deck hanger
shaft on the LEFT side (non-discharge side) must be
adjusted.
7. Adjust the two front hanger shafts as needed until
the tip of the blade is 2” from the floor and the meas-
urements taken from the top of the deck to the floor
are within 1/16" of each other.
8. Once the level of the deck has been adjusted, there
should be no slack in the front hanger shafts. If one
shaft moves, a shim (P/N 20928) is required.
