MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE

There are four (4) eyebolts 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

15 lbs

(103 kPa)

Rear:

15 lbs

(103 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 eyebolts 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 ¼" higher than the front of blade tips. If

adjustment is required, turn nut on one or both of the rear
eyebolts 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.
