Mower Leveling
Side-to-Side Leveling
1. Park the tractor on a level surface. Point tires straight
ahead.
2. Be sure trailing arms (F, Figure 10) are loose. Mower
must be resting on rollers with no weight on trailing
arms. Transport Height Adjustment should be made
after Mower Leveling adjustments.
3. Place Dial-A-Cut™ mower height adjuster in mid cut
position by aligning front edge of mower lift arm with
number 2 or 3 on the quadrant scale. Make sure
mower lift lever is in down position. Make sure that
the rear mower rollers (C, Figure 12) are on the
ground. If not, refer to “Transport Height Adjustment”
procedure in the MOWER ADJUSTMENTS section.
4. Position blade(s) side-to-side and measure distance
from outside tip of blade(s) to ground. Measurement
should be equal (within 1/8 inch). For adjustment,
refer to Figure 14.
a. On left side of mower, make sure eccentric nut is in
the correct position (see top inset illustration of
Figure 12). Loosen outside nut (A, Figure 12) and
rotate eccentric nut (B) so that flat side with hole
closest to it is towards the rear. Tighten outside nut
(A) while holding eccentric nut (B).
b. On right side of mower, loosen outside nut (A,
Figure 12).
c. Turn eccentric hex nut (B) counterclockwise to raise
side of mower or clockwise to lower right hand side
of mower. Do not turn eccentric hex nut (B) more
than 1/4 turn in either direction. After 1/4 turn, turn-
ing eccentric nut will move mower in opposite direc-
tion (raise or lower) than when starting adjustment.
d. When adjustment is correct, hold eccentric nut (B)
and tighten nut (A) to 30 ft-lbs. Recheck measure-
ment on both sides of mower.
CAUTION
Mower blade(s) can cut hands if not protected by
gloves. Turn the mower drive belt by hand to
rotate blade(s) into position or wear gloves to
turn blade(s) by hand. On mulching mower
decks, make sure fingers do not become pinched
between mower blade and mower lip.

NOTE: When using highest cutting position on Dial-A-
Cut™ control or transport position to mow, rear mower
rollers may be off the ground. Side-to-side levelness can
only be maintained if spacers on mower lift bar bracket
are set equally from left to right. Refer to Transport
Height Adjustment in this section.
WARNING
Before checking mower, shut off PTO and
engine. Allow all moving parts to stop. Re-move
ignition key.
