Deck Leveling & Height Adjustment
The mower deck has three areas that may need to be
checked and adjusted periodically. Before considering
any mower deck leveling adjustments, check to make
certain tire air pressure is within the specified range.

1. Check tire pressures to make certain they are
properly inflated before leveling deck.
