4.2.6. MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS)

Side-To-Side (48” Decks)

Before making deck leveling adjustments, check

the tire pressure. Add or release air as needed to

bring pressure to 10 PSI in front and 10 PSI in rear

tires. If tires are properly inflated and mowing is still

uneven, adjust side-to-side deck levelness first as

follows:

1.

Place YARD CRUISER on a smooth level

surface.

2.

Remove floor pan.

3.

Rotate outside blades so tips are pointed to

the sides of deck. See Figure 4.4. Measure the

distance from blade tips to floor. If the

measurement is within 1/8” from side-to-side, the

deck levelness is satisfactory. If the difference from

side-to-side is greater than 1/8”, continue to Step 4

for adjustment.

4.

Remove hair pin from pivot rod and pull rod

out of lift arm.

5.

Rotate pivot rod up or down to achieve the
