MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE
There are four (4) eyebolts that will control the attitude or pitch of
the mower deck. The deck should be level or pitched slightly
higher in rear.
1. Place the mower on a smooth level surface with front casters
positioned towards deck. Check tire pressures to insure the
mower has a correct stance. Inflate tires as required:
Front
15 lbs
(103 kPa)
Rear:
15 lbs
(103 kPa)
NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower deck
drive belt must be installed prior to leveling deck.
2. Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the
deck or in a side-to-side manner.
3. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade tip
on the discharge side of the mower. Retain this measurement.
Move to the opposite side and check to see if that
measurement is the same. If adjustment is required, turn nut
on one or both of the front eyebolts until both measurements
are equal.
4. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck in a front to
rear manner.
5. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade
tips at both the front and rear of the blades. Rear of blade tips
should be
1
/
8
" to ¼" higher than the front of blade tips. If
adjustment is required, turn nut on one or both of the rear
eyebolts until both measurements are equal.
NOTE: This will place the mower deck in a base measurement
position. Additional adjustment may be required to
achieve desired cut for the type of grass or conditions
involved.
