Section 4 - ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIR 

 

WARNING 

DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance, 
service or repairs with the engine running. Stop 
engine. Stop blade. Engage parking brake. Remove 
key. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and 
secure away from plug. Engine and components are 
HOT. Avoid serious burns; allow all parts to cool 
before working on machine. Fuel Filler Cap and Vent 
must be closed securely to prevent fuel spillage. 

 
4.3.7.  MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS) 

Side-To-Side (33” Decks)

 

Before making deck leveling adjustments, check 
the tire pressure. Check tires and add or release air 
as needed to bring pressure to 12 P.S.I. in front and 
12 P.S.I. in rear tires. If tires are properly inflated 
and mowing is still uneven, adjust side-to-side deck 
levelness as follows: 

1.

 Place SCRAMBLER on a smooth level 

surface. 

2.

 Turn engine off and remove key, remove 

spark plug wire(s) from spark plug(s) and secure 
wire(s) away from plug(s). 

3.

 Place a piece of angle iron, pipe, or similar 

object under center of deck at the rear. 

4.

  Remove rear hanger chains and allow center, 

rear of deck to rest on angle iron.  

5.

  Measure the distance from blade tips to floor. If 

the measurement is within 1/8” from side-to-side, 
the deck levelness is satisfactory. If the difference 
from side-to-side is greater than 1/8”, continue to 
the next page for adjustment. See Figure 4.8. 
 
 

 

 

FIGURE 4.8 

 

6.

 Loosen the shoulder bolt that retains the 

eccentric. 

7.

 Turn eccentric “UP” or “DOWN” as required 

until blade tips are within 1/8” of the same 
distance from the floor.  See Figure 4.9. 

8.

  Tighten shoulder bolt loosened in Step “f”. 

9.

 Readjust rear hanger chain pivots to align 

with holes in support brackets. 

10. 

Reconnect hanger chains, remove angle 

iron, pipe, etc. and recheck side to side level. 
Adjust either chain as needed to result in blade 
tips being within 1/8” of the same distance from 
the floor. 

11. 

Proceed to check front to rear deck pitch. 

 

 

 

FIGURE 4.9 

 
4.3.8.  MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS) 

Front to Rear Deck Pitch (33” Deck) 

With the SCRAMBLER on a smooth, level surface, 
rotate blade until blade tips are at front and rear of 
deck.  Measure the distance from blade tips to 
floor.  The distance should be the same, or the rear 
1/4” lower than the front.  If the rear blade tip is 
higher or is more than 1/4” lower than the front, 
proceed with adjustment. 

1.

  Remove rear hanger chains. 

2.

  Turn each hanger pivot the same number of 

rotations on the eye-bolt to raise or lower the 
rear of the deck.  See Figure 4.10. 

3.

 Reinstall rear hanger chains and measure 

blade tips again. 

4.

 Repeat steps “a” through “c” until proper 

levelness is obtained.
