Cutter Deck Pitch

The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH side of the cutter deck. The measurement at the front of the cutter deck should be the same as the rear of the deck. Make these measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also. If the measurement at the front of the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as follows:

1.Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on front of the cutter deck on both sides (See Figure 6-4).

1.Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height index. Release the deck from the transport position and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height position.
