Deck Leveling

Adjustment

NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift rod timing must be checked and/or adjusted.

1.Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake. Rear tires must be inflated to 15 psi (1,03 bar); front tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).

2.Lock the deck lift pedal in the 5” (12,7cm) position. Place the deck height adjustment pin in the 4" position and lower the deck lift pedal until the arm contacts the pin.

3.Place the 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the mower deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical. Place a 1/4” (0,64cm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4’s. See Figure 17.

6.Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight and the deck is still resting on the 2 x 4’s. Tighten the jam nuts. See Figure 18.

7.Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to rest on the 2 x 4’s and 1/4” spacers. Slide the chains down in the slots until the chains are tight and tighten the nuts. See Figure 18.

8.Remove all the 2 x 4’s and spacers from under the mower deck.

9.For your safety, DO NOT handle mower blades with bare hands. Position the outside mower blades so that they face front-to-back (Figure 19).

10.Measure from the front tip of the blade from the cutting edge to the ground. Measure from the rear tip of the blade from the cutting edge to the ground. Repeat this process for the other side of the machine. The front measurements should be 4” (10,2 cm), the back measurements should be 4-1/4” (10,8 cm). If the measurements are greater than 1/8” (3,17 mm) of what they should be adjust the deck height until they are correct.
