DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift
rod timing must be checked and/or adjusted.
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking
brake. Rear tires must be inflated to 18 psi (1,24
bar); front tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).
2. Install the cutting height adjustment pin in the
4” (10,2 cm) position. See Figure 42.
3. Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the
mower deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical.
Place a 1/4” (0,64 cm) thick spacer on top of the
rear 2 x 4 blocks. See Figure 43.
4. Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight
and the deck is still resting on the 2 x 4’s. Tighten
jam nuts. See Figure 44.
5. Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to
rest on the 2 x 4’s and 1/4” spacers. Slide the
chains in the slots until the chains are tight and
tighten the nuts. See Figure 44.
6. Remove all 2 x 4 blocks and spacers from under
the mower deck.

performance will be compromised.
