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 t owards 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.
