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 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 that 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.
