4.2.6.MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS) Side-To-Side (48” Decks)

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, adjust side-to-side deck levelness first 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 sides of deck. See Figure 4.4. Measure the

distance from blade tips to floor. If the

measurement is within 1/8” from side-to-side, the

deck levelness is satisfactory. If the difference

from side-to-side is greater than 1/8”, continue to
