Checking the Carrier Frame
Side-to-Side Height
The carrier frame needs to be parallel side-to-side from
the ground.
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Adjust the tire pressure in the rear tires to
specifications; refer to Drive System Maintenance
, page 35 .
4. Measure carrier frame height at location A
(Figure 81).
5. Measure carrier frame height at location B
(Figure 81).
6. If the carrier frame height is not the same move
spacers from top or bottom of caster wheel, to
make it level. The tire pressure may also be adjusted
slightly to make it level.

Checking the Mower Deck
Front-to-Rear Pitch
1. Adjust the tire pressure in the rear tires to
specifications; refer to Drive System Maintenance
, page 35 .
2. Position one blade front-to-rear. Measure at A and
B locations from a level surface to the cutting edge
of the blade tips (Figure 82 or Figure 83). For 36
inch mower decks use Figure 83.
3. The mower blade should be a 1/4 inch (6 mm) lower
in front at A than in the rear at B . Rotate blades and
repeat for other blades. If it is not correct, proceed
to Changing the Deck Front-to-Rear Pitch.
