How to Level the Mower Deck

If the mower deck is level, the blade will cut easier and the lawn will look better.

WARNING: Before you make an inspection, adjustment, or repair to the unit, disconnect the wire to the spark plug. Remove the spark plug wire to prevent the engine from starting by accident.

1.Make sure the unit is on a hard flat surface.

2.Check the air pressure in the tires. If the air pressure is incorrect, the mower housing will not cut level. Make sure the tires are inflated to 14 PSI (1 BAR).

IMPORTANT: On models equipped with gauge wheels, the gauge wheels must be removed to correctly adjust the level of the mower deck.
