Front To Back Leveling
If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling.
Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an
uneven cut. See CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.
1. Turn the blades front-to-back as shown in Figure 38.
Measure the distance from the ground to front tip of
center blade, and from ground to rear tips of left hand
and right hand blades (Figure 38). Front tips should
be 1/8"-1/4" (3-6 mm) higher than rear tips. If not,
proceed to step 2.
2. The front mower hitch rod (A, Figure 39) is used to
adjust front-to-back leveling. To raise or lower the
front of mower deck, loosen the two rear jam nuts (B)
on both sides of the hitch rod (A). Adjust the front
jam nuts (C) on both sides of the hitch rod to adjust
the deck level. When adjusted correctly, tighten the
rear jam nuts (B) to lock hitch rod in place.
