2. Carrier Frame
3. 1/4-3/8 inch (6-10 mm)
pitch over 24 inch (61 cm)
length
2. Measure carrier frame height at location A
(Figure 60).
3. Measure carrier frame height at location B
(Figure 60).
4. The height at location A must be a 1/4-3/8
inch (6 mm -10 mm) lower than location B
(Figure 60).
5. If the carrier frame is not correct, move caster
spacers to make it a 1/4-3/8 inch (6 -10 mm)
pitch (Figure 60). Move spacers from top or
bottom to make the correct pitch.
6. The tire pressure may also be adjusted slightly
to make a 1/4 inch (6 mm) pitch.
Checking Carrier Frame Side-to-Side
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Adjust the tire pressure in all
tires to specifications; refer
toDrive System Maintenance, page 35
.

5. Measure carrier frame height at location B
(Figure 61).
6. If the carrier frame height is not the same
move spacers from top or bottom of caster
wheel, to make it level. The tire pressure may
also be adjusted slightly to make it level.

Checking the Mower Deck

Front-to-Rear Pitch

1. Check the tire pressure on both deck and
traction unit.
2. Position one blade front-to-rear (Figure 62).
Measure at C and D locations (Figure 62) from
a level surface to the cutting edge of the blade
tips (Figure 63).
3. The mower blade should be 1/4 inch (6 mm)
lower in front at C than in the rear at D. Rotate
blades and repeat for other blades. If it is
not correct, proceed to Changing the Deck
Front-to-Rear Pitch.
