CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MOWER DECK LEVELING PRCEDURE:

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 rear 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 3/8” higher than the front

of blade tips. If adjustment is necessary, turn nut on front

L-rod.

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.
