CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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
towards 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.
