Deck Leveling
For best cutting appearance, be sure to that the deck is level.
An uneven deck will result in uneven grass cutting height.
1. Place the mower on a flat surface.
2. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key.
3. Check tire pressure in drive tires. Proper inflation pressure
for the drive tires is 12psi. It is important for both left and
right tires to be of equal inflation for proper deck level.
4. Check tire pressure in caster tires. Proper inflation pressure
for the caster tires is 25psi. It is important for both left and
right tires to be of equal inflation for proper deck level.
5. See Figure 6. Position A is located in middle front of the
mower deck. Position B is located behind the mower deck
on each side.
6. Reduce the mower deck to the position 1-1/2” (38mm).
Adjust the M10 nut with wrench on both sides. Ensure
position B is 150±2mm away from ground.
7. Adjust the M14 nut with wrench. Ensure position A is
144±2mm away from ground.
NOTE: When above adjustments have been made, the front
of the deck will be slightly lower than the rear of the deck,
approximately 1/4” (6mm).
