MOWER DECK
Leveling
If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling.
Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an
uneven cut. Tire pressure should be as follows:
• Front: 12-15 psi
• Rear: 6-8 psi
SIDE TO SIDE LEVELING
1. With the mower installed, place the tractor on a
smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn
the front wheels straight forward.
2. Place the cutting height adjust in high-cut position.
3. Set the parking brake, turn off the ignition, and
remove the key.
4. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.
5. Arrange the mower blades so that they are pointing
from side-to-side.
6. Measure the distance between the outside tips of
each blade and the ground. If there is more than 1/8"
(3 mm) difference between the measurements on
each side, proceed to step 7. If the difference is 1/8"
(3 mm) or less, proceed to Front to Back Leveling.
7. See Figure 8. Loosen the outside nut (A) then turn
the eccentric nut (B) to raise or lower the left side of
the deck. Repeat on the right side of the deck. When
the mower deck is level, hold the eccentric nut while
tightening the outside nut.
FRONT TO BACK LEVELING
1. Arrange the blades so they face front-to-back.
2. Measure the distance from the ground to the front
and rear tips of each blade. The measurement should
be equal for both blades. Front tips should be equal
to rear tips or within 1/8" higher. If not, proceed to
step 3.
3. Loosen the two rear jam nuts (A, Figure 9) on both
both arm assemblies. Adjust the jam nuts on both
arms until the mower deck is level or the front is 1/4”
higher.
