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
Step 4 for adjustment.
