Leveling the Mower Deck
Ensure that the mower deck is level any time you install the mower deck or when you see an
uneven cut on your lawn.
Preparing to Level the Mower Deck
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the blade-control switch, and move the
motion-control levers outward to the P
ARK position.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving
the operating position.
3. Ensure that the tires are inflated to the correct specifications and the caster wheels are
facing straight forward.
4. Check the mower deck for bent blades; remove and replace any bent blades.
5. Raise the mower deck to the 76 mm (3 inch) height-of-cut setting.
