DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
44” & 52” Models
NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift
rod timing must be checked and/or adjustment.
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 15 psi (1,03
bar); front tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).
2. Place the deck height adjustment pin in the
4” (10,2 cm) position.
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 37.
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 38.
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 38.
6. Remove all 2 x 4 blocks and spacers from under
the mower deck.
7.
For your safety, DO NOT handle mower blades
with bare hands.
Postiion the outside mower
blades so that they face front-to-back. (See
Figure 39.)
8. Measure the front tip of the blade from the cutting
edge to the ground. Measure the rear tip of
the blade from the cutting edge to the ground.
Repeat this process for the other side of the
machine.
The front measurement should be 4” (10,2 cm),
the back measurement should be 4-1/4” (10,8
cm).
