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 45)
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.
