CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE:
1. Place mower on a smooth, level surface and check
tire pressures to insure correct stance. Tires
should be inflated as follows.
Front: 16 - 21 lbs
Rear: 8 - 14 lbs
2. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck
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 L-rods 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 1/4"
higher than the front of blade tips. If adjustment is
necessary, loosen jam nuts on tie bar. Rotate bar
to achieve desired height. Retighten jam nuts.
(See Illustration B, page 36)
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.
