Changing the front-to-rear pitch is done by adjusting the

2. For 48 and 52 inch mower decks, loosen both
the front and rear nuts on the adjustment rods
(Figure 88).
3. For 60 inch mower decks, loosen both the front
and rear nuts and lift links on the adjustment rods
(Figure 89).
4. The weight of the mower deck must be resting on all
three of the 2x4’s (Figure 88). The back lip of the
mower deck is built a 1/4 inch (6mm) lower than the
front lip of the mower deck.
5. For 60 inch mower decks, tighten the lift links
(Figure 89).
6. Tighten both the front and rear nuts.
7. Check the front-to-rear pitch of the cutting unit.
8. If the dimensions are not correct, adjust the front
and rear nuts on either side to get the correct
front-to-rear pitch (Figure 88).
