MOWER

TO LEVEL DECK

Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure (see “SPECIFICATIONS” section in this manual). If tires are under or over inflated, you can not properly adjust your deck.

NOTE: It may be easier to adjust the front lift linkages by removing the floor pan before any adjustments are made

SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 13 and 14)

Raise the deck into the highest cutting position (4 1/2")

Measure height from the bottom edge of the deck to the ground at both front corners. Distance “A” at both corners should be the same.

If adjustment is necessary, make adjustment to one side the deck only

To raise one side of the deck, using a 9/16" wrench, tighten the hex nuts on both the front and rear lift linkages (be sure to tighten equal amounts).

To lower one side of the deck, reverse previous step.

Recheck measurements after adjustment.
