Changing the Deck
Front-to-Rear Pitch
Changing the front–to–rear pitch is done by adjusting the
front height–of–cut posts.
Changing the Deck Front–to–Rear Pitch
by Adjusting Front Height–of–Cut Posts
1. To change the front-to-rear pitch, the front
height–of–cut posts can be adjusted (Fig. 49).
2. To raise the front of the deck, loosen jam nut and
rotate the front pin clockwise (Fig. 49).
3. To lower the front of the deck, loosen jam nut and
rotate the front pin counter clockwise (Fig. 49).

4. Position the blades front-to-rear (Fig. 47). Measure at
“C” and “D” locations (Fig. 47) from a level surface to
the cutting edge of the blades (Fig. 48).
5. Check the side-to-side leveling of the cutting unit.
Checking the Deck
Side-to-Side Leveling
1. Check the tire pressure on both deck and traction unit.
2. Position the blades side-to-side (Fig. 50). Measure at
“A” and “B” locations (Fig. 50) from a level surface to
the cutting edge of blade tips (Fig. 51).
3. The difference between measurements “A” and “B”
should be no more than 1/4 in. (6 mm).

Changing the Side-to-Side
Leveling
Changing the side–to–side leveling is done by adjusting
tire pressure.
Changing the Side–to–Side Leveling with
Tire Pressure
1. Change the tire pressure on both deck and traction
unit. Do this to the corresponding side that needs
adjustment.
2. Recheck the front-to-rear pitch and side to side
leveling of the cutting unit.
Matching Height of Cut
1. Check the tire pressure on both deck and traction unit.
