Leveling the Mower Deck
Side-To-Side Leveling
1. With the mower installed, place the tractor on a smooth,
level surface such as a concrete oor. Turn the front
wheels straight forward.
2. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.
3. Place the mower in mid-cut position. Arrange the
outside mower blades so that they are pointing from
side-to-side (A, Figure 19).
4. Measure the distance between the outside tips of each
blade and the ground (B). If there is more than 1/8” (3
mm) adjustment is needed.

5. To adjust, loosen the outside nut (A, Figure 20). Turn
the eccentric nut (B) to raise or lower left-hand side of
mower. When mower is level, hold the eccentric nut
while tightening the outside nut.
NOTICE: When using a turbo collection system, raise the
discharge side of the mower approximately 1/4” (6 mm) to
compensate for turbo assembly weight. Check the level of
the cut grass and adjust the 1/4” (6 mm) measurement as
necessary for a smooth, even cut.
