CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE

There are four (4) slots that will control the attitude or pitch

of the mower deck. The deck should be level or pitched

slightly higher in rear.

1. Place the mower on a smooth level surface with front

casters positioned towards deck. Check tire pressures to

insure the mower has a correct stance. Inflate tires as

required:

Front 16 - 21 lbs maximum (110-145 kPa)

Rear: 8-14 lbs maximum (55-97 kPa)

NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower deck

drive belt must be installed prior to leveling deck.

2. Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip to align

with the deck or 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

/8" to ¼" higher than the front of

blade tips. If adjustment is required, turn nut on one or

both of the rear L-rods until both measurements are

equal.

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.
