Troubleshooting, Adjustments, & Service
ROLLER BAR LEVELING
(If Equipped)
1. First level the mower deck using the procedure found
in MOWER DECK LEVELING.
2. With the mower installed, place the rider on a
smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn
the front wheels so they are straight.
3. Place the cutting height adjustment lever in the top
adjustment notch.
4. Measure the distance between the outside ends of
the roller bar and the ground. If there is more than
1/8” (3mm) difference between the measurements on
each side, proceed to step 5.
5. Locate the roller bar leveling hardware on the right
side of the mower deck (A, Figure 32). Loosen the
hardware and raise or lower the roller bar until the
correct level is achieved, then tighten the hardware.
Repeat steps 4 & 5 if necessary.

ing nuts on the front deck lift rods (A, Figure 31) until
the desired measurement is achieved. Be sure to
adjust both sides the same amount.
9. Re-check the blade measurement then repeat steps
7 - 9 as necessary.
