LEVELING AND ADJUSTING
PITCH OF MOWER DECK
NOTE: Adjust on a level surface, with the
tires inflated to the correct air pressure. See
“SPECIFICATIONS” on page 34.
Three measurements are required to level
and adjust the pitch of the mower deck.
1. The distance from the mower blades to
the ground.
2. The forward pitch of the mower blades.
3. The pitch of the mower blades from
side-to-side.
The Distance From The Mower
Blades To The Ground
(Figure 11)
• In the lowest cutting position should be
1-1/2" ± 1/4" (3.175 cm ± .635 cm).
• In the highest cutting position should
be 4-1/2" ± 1/4" (10.795 cm ±
.635 cm).
The Forward Pitch Of The Mower
Blades
(Figure 12)
• Should be 0" (0 cm) to 1/4" (0.635 cm)
pitched forward.
NOTE: This measurement must be taken
when the mower blades ends point forward.
The Pitch Of The Mower Blades From
Side To Side
(Figure 13)
• Should be within 1/4" (0.635 cm) as
measured on each side of the mower
deck.
NOTE: This measurement must be taken
when the mower blade ends point left and
right.
