WARNING

Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine. Allow all moving parts to stop. Remove ignition key, then disconnect the spark plug wires and fasten them away from the spark plugs.

Leveling The Mower

If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling.

NOTE: Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an uneven cut.

SIDE TO SIDE LEVELING

1.With the mower installed, place the tractor on a smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn the front wheels straight forward.

2.Place the cutting height adjust in high-cut position.

3.Set the parking brake, turn off the ignition, and remove the key.

4.Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.

5.Arrange the mower blades so that they are pointing from side-to-side.

6.Measure the distance between the outside tips of each blade and the ground. If there is more than 1/8" (3mm) difference between the measurements on each side, proceed to step 7. If the difference is 1/8" (3mm) or less, proceed to Front To Back Leveling.

7.See Figure 46. Prevent I-Bolt (C) from turning; then adjust spacer (B) by turning lock nut (A) clockwise (up) or counter-clockwise (down) to achieve correct side to side leveling.

FRONT TO BACK LEVELING

1.Arrange the blades so they face front-to-back.

2.Measure the distance from the ground to the front of the front blade and from the rear tips of the rear blades. Front tips should be 1/8” to 1/4” higher than the rear tips. If not, proceed to step 3.

3.See Figure 47. Loosen the locknut (A) on the arm assembly. Adjust the jam nut on the arm until the mower deck is level or the front is 1/8” to 1/4” higher.
