CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE

There are four (4) eyebolts that will control the attitude or pitch of the mower deck. The deck should be level or pitched slightly higher in rear.

1.Place the mower on a smooth level surface with front casters positioned towards deck. Check tire pressures to insure the mower has a correct stance. Inflate tires as required:

Front

15 lbs

(103 kPa)

Rear:

15 lbs

(103 kPa)

NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower deck drive belt must be installed prior to leveling deck.

2.Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck or in a side-to-side manner.

3.Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade tip on the discharge side of the mower. Retain this measurement. Move to the opposite side and check to see if that measurement is the same. If adjustment is required, turn nut on one or both of the front eyebolts until both measurements are equal.

4.Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck in a front to rear manner.

5.Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade tips at both the front and rear of the blades. Rear of blade tips should be 1/8" to ¼" higher than the front of blade tips. If adjustment is required, turn nut on one or both of the rear eyebolts until both measurements are equal.

NOTE: This will place the mower deck in a base measurement position. Additional adjustment may be required to achieve desired cut for the type of grass or conditions involved.
