5. IMPORTANT: Alternate adjustments between rods and adjust at equal lengths to maintain equal ten-
sion. Improper adjustments may cause rods to snap or bend.

each time the mower is raised and lowered.
LEVELING WING SECTIONS WITH CENTER
rTo level the wing sections with the deck center,
adjust the leveling screw between the wing axle
and the center axle. To lower the wing, loosen the
jamnut and shorten the screw assembly, lengthen
the screw assembly to raise the wing. After wings
are leveled, retighten jamnuts to maintain settings.

7.2 Setting Deck Pitch

To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately
3/4" LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass only once and requires less
work from the tractor. In addition, a more even
distribution of the clippings from the rear of the
mower will be achieved with this deck pitch.
Adjust the leveling rods linking the tongue to the
rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4"
lower in the front that than the rear. To lower the
front, lengthen the leveling rods and to raise the
front shorten the leveling rods.
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper adjustment may
cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been set. OPS-R-0002
