4.2.7.MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS) Front to Rear Deck Pitch (48” Deck)

Before making deck leveling adjustments, check the tire pressure. Add or release air as needed to bring pressure to 12 P.S.I. in front and 12 P.S.I. in rear tires. If tires are properly inflated and mowing is still uneven, check side-to-side deck levelness first then proceed to front to rear adjustment. Adjust front to rear deck levelness as follows:

1.Place YARD CRUISER on a smooth level surface.

2.Remove floor pan.

3.Rotate outside blades so tips are pointed to the front and rear of deck. Measure the distance from blade tips to floor. The distance should be the same, or the rear 1/4” higher than the front. If the rear blade tip is lower or is more than 1/4” higher than the front, proceed to Step 4 for adjustment.
