Deck Leveling Adjustment
NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift
rod timing must be checked and/or adjusted.
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking
brake. Rear tires must be inflated to 18 psi (1,24
bar); front tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).
2. Lock the deck lift pedal in the 6” (15,2 cm)
position. Place the deck height adjustment pin in
the 4” position and lower deck the lift pedal until
the arm contacts the pin.
3. Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the
mower deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical.
See Figure 44.
4. Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight
and the deck is still resting on the 2 x 4’s. Tighten
jam nuts. See Figure 45.
5. Loosen the jam nuts (A, Figure 45) and turn the
adjustment bolts (B) until the chains are tight
and the rear of the deck is resting on the 2 x 4’s.
Tighten the jam nuts.
6. Remove all 2 x 4 blocks from under the mower
deck.
7. See Figure 46. Position the outside mower blades
so they face front-to-back.
8. Measure from the front tip of the blade from the
cutting edge to the ground. Measure from the
rear tip of the blade from the cutting edge to the
ground. The measurement should be 4” (10,2
cm). Repeat this process for the other side of the
machine.
