Mower Levelling Side-To-Side
^WARNING
To avoid accidental starting during level¬
ling check, remove the ignition key and
remove both spark plug wires and fasten
them away from the spark plugs.
NOTE
The purpose of levelling the mower is to
achieve an even grass cut. Remember
that improper or unequal tire pressure
will cause an uneven cut. Also, different
terrain may require different side-to-side
adjustments. If you don’t achieve an even
cut with the mower level, try raising one
side slightly higher.
1. Tractor and mower must be on a level
surface. The tires must point straight
forward.
2. Place the mower in highest cutting
position and place the mower lift lever
in the lowered position.

mm), the mower is level. If not, proceed
with next steps.
