4.2MOWER DECK & COMPONENT ADJUSTMENTS The following mower deck and component adjustments and repairs can be made by the owner. However, if there is difficulty in making these adjustments and repairs, it is recommended that these repairs be made by an authorized SNAPPER dealer.

4.2.1.MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS) SIDE to SIDE and FRONT to REAR

Before making deck leveling adjustments, check tires and add or release air as needed to bring pressure to 12 psi in drive tires. Pressure in front caster wheels should be 25 psi.

If tires are properly inflated and mowing is still uneven, adjust deck levelness as follows:

SIDE to SIDE LEVEL

1.Place machine on a smooth level surface.

2.Check blade tips by rotating blades until tips are pointing to the sides of the deck. Check the measurement of outside blade tips to the ground on both blades. The measure-ment of each of the outside blade tips should be within 1/8” of each other. If measurement of the blade tips is not within 1/8”, adjustment should be made to the higher side of the deck to lower it to within the correct measurement.

3.Move deck lift lever and set the mower deck to the highest cutting position.

4.Place a wooden block under the front and rear edge of the mower deck.

5.Move deck lift lever and set the mower deck to a lower cutting position until deck rests on wooden blocks.
