Deck Leveling Adjustment
WARNING
Wear heavy gloves when handling or working around
cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp and can cause
severe injury.
1. Drive the unit to a flat, level surface and return the ground
speed control levers to the middle (NEUTRAL) position
to stop the unit's movement. Pivot the levers outward
to lock them in the START/PARK position. This action
automatically engages the parking brake.
2. Disengage the PTO by pushing down on the PTO
switch.Move the throttle control to the SLOW position
and turn the ignition switch to OFF. Remove the key.
3. Set the mower deck to the 4-1/2" (11,4 cm) cutting height.
4. Turn the front caster wheels so they are facing front-to-
back.
5. Verify that the tire pressures are correct:
• Front: 22 psi (1,72 bar)
• Rear: 12 psi (0,83 bar)
6. Verify that the mower blades are flat, and not bent or
broken. A bent or broken blade must be replaced.
7. Position the two mower blades so that they are side-to-
side.
8. Measure the distance between the outside tips of the
blades and the ground (A and B, Figure 40).

• if measurements A and B DO NOT measure
4-1/2" (11,4 cm), adjustment is needed. Continue with
step # 9.
• if measurements A and B DO measure 4-1/2" (11,4
cm) no adjustment is needed, skip forward to step #
10.
9. Tighten the nuts (A, Figure 41) (right or left side) as
needed to adjust side-to-side leveling.The difference
between measurements should be less than 1/8" (3 mm).
