TO LEVEL DECK
Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level
surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to the
correct pressure (see “SPECIFICATIONS”

inflated, you can not properly adjust your deck.

linkages by removing the floor pan before any
adjustments are made

and 14)
•
Raise the deck into the highest cutting
position (4 1/2")
•
Measure height from the bottom edge of
the deck to the ground at both front
corners. Distance “A” at both corners
should be the same.
•
If adjustment is necessary, make
adjustment to one side the deck only
•
To raise one side of the deck, using a 9/16"
wrench, tighten the hex nuts on both the
front
and rear lift linkages (be sure to tighten
equal amounts).
•
To lower one side of the deck, reverse
previous step.

Recheck measurements after
