Leveling the Mower Deck

These adjustments should be made on a level surface with the 
tires inflated to the correct air pressure.

Level the mower with the slots where 4 chains fasten to the 
mower mounting brackets (Figure 20).

1. Shut OFF engine. Engage parking brake. Remove the 

ignition key. 

2. Raise mower deck to its highest position and place 4.75 in. 

(12.1 cm) tall blocks at each rear corner and 4.625 in. 
(11.7 cm) tall blocks at each front corner.

3. Lower deck onto the blocks.

4. Loosen the locknuts on the side where the chains are slack 

and slide the bolt down the slot until the chains are tight.

5. Tighten the locknuts.

6. Lift mower and remove blocks.

7. Measure height of deck at each side. Measurements must 

be within 1/16 in. (1.59 mm) of each other.

8. If measurements are out of range, fix by adjusting chains 

on low side of deck.

9. Once deck is level side to side, measure height of deck at 

middle of front and on both sides of rear. Front of deck 
should be 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) lower than rear.
