Cutter deck level

The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most common cutting height that you will use. On the LH side of the machine, check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor on the RH side of the machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must be adjusted as follows:

1.On the front RH side of the cutter deck locate the cutter deck adjustment levers. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the cutter deck adjustment levers on the front and rear of the cutter deck. See Figure 6-4.

2.Turn the adjustment bolts on the front and rear cutter deck adjustment levers clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower the RH side until the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as the measurement on the LH side of the machine.

3.Tighten the two elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.

cutter deck pitch

The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH side of the cutter deck. The measurement at the front of the cutter deck should be the same as the rear of the deck. Make these measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also. If the measurement at the front of the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as follows:

1.Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on front of the cutter deck on both sides See Figure 6-5.

2.Turn the adjustment bolts on both side either clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the front of the cutter deck until the measurements are equal. Tighten the elastic stop nuts.
