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.
