will cause an uneven mowing result.
To level deck
Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface.
Make sure the tires are inated to the correct pressure.
See “Technical Data” under Transmission. If tires are
under or over inated, you cannot properly adjust your
deck.

deck. The deck should be adjusted slightly higher in
the rear.

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
