F. Deck leveling Procedure
1.Park the mower on a flat paved surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, remove the key from the ignition switch, disconnect the spark plug wires and using the second foot pedal, lower the mowing deck into the 4" height of cut position. (The 4" height of cut position is recommended in order for one to see and obtain a measurement. Any height of cut position is acceptable as long as a proper measurement can be taken.)

8.To adjust the blade pitch the deck pitch must be adjusted. Loosen the inner jam nuts at the rear of the horizontal threaded rods. Start at Point C to raise the rear of the deck, tighten the rear outer jam nut to raise the deck pitch. Adjust the rear jam nut at Point D to take the “slack out of the threaded rod.
9.The final adjustment would be to take the “slack” out of the left rear linkage (Point D) by adjusting the jam nuts on the eyebolt. Loosen the jam nuts and tighten the upper nut to remove “slack”.
10.In many cases it will be necessary to adjust deck height using both eyebolt adjustments and pitch adjustment to achieve the correct
11.Once the deck is level one may find that the height of cut does not match the height of cut indicator. A final adjustment may be made by lowering or rais- ing the height of cut link accordingly. To raise the deck: remove the shoulder bolt mounting the height of cut link to the lift handle and reassemble the shoulder bolt in the lowest of the three holes. To lower the deck: remove the shoulder bolts mounting the height of cut link, flip the height of cut link around and reassemble the shoulder bolts in the top of the set of three holes and the bottom hole.
