32 Inch Stamped Deck Leveling
Check to ensure the deck is level any time you install the
deck or when there is an uneven cut recognized�
The deck must be checked for bent blades prior
to leveling; any bent blades must be removed and
replaced� Refer to the “Checking for Bent Blades”
procedure, in this chapter, before continuing�

32 Inch Stamped Deck - Side-to-Side
Leveling
1� Park the unit on a level surface and disengage the
PTO switch�
2� Move the motion control levers outward to the park
position, stop engine, remove key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position�
3� Set the height-of-cut lever to middle position�
5� Measure from the tip of the blade to the level
surface� The variance should be no more than 1/8”
(3mm) (Fig� 119)�
A blade that is bent or damaged could break apart
and could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders�
• Always replace bent or damaged blade with a
new blade
• Neverleorcreatesharpnotchesintheedges
or surfaces of blade
a� If the difference between A and B is greater than
1/8” (3mm) replace the blade with a new blade as
outlined in this chapter�
• Recheck, starting at step 1�
Note: If a bent blade is replaced with a new one and
the dimension obtained continues to exceed
1/8” (3mm), the blade spindle shaft could be
bent.
b� If the variance is within constraints, move to the next
blade�
Repeat this procedure on each blade�
