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 locknuts 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 with front
casters positioned t owards deck. 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
NOTE:
To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower
deck drive belt must be installed prior to leveling
deck.
B. Wear heavy gloves. 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.
