6. Wearing heavy leather gloves, rotate the blade until the
blade tips are positioned at the right and left sides of the
mower deck. Measure the distance from the blade tips
(A, Figure 34) to the floor (B). If the measurement (C) is
within 1/8" (3mm) from side-to-side, the deck is consid-
ered level. If difference from side-to-side is greater than
1/8" (3mm), continue with adjustment.
7. If adjustment is needed, slowly turn the eccentric (A,
Figure 35) on the left front lift arm until the blade tips are
within 1/8" (3mm) of each other.
8. Raise the mower deck, and remove the angle iron, pipe,
or similar object.
9. Proceed to check front to rear leveling.
Front-to-Rear Leveling
NOTE: Perform side-to-side leveling first.
1. With the unit on a smooth, level surface, rotate the blade
until the blade tips are at the front and rear of the deck.
2. Measure the distance from the blade tips (A, Figure 34)
to the floor (B). The distance (C) should be the same, or
the rear 1/8" to 1/4" (3 - 6mm) lower than the front. If the
rear blade tip is higher than the front, or is more than 1/4"
(6mm) lower than the front, proceed with adjustment.
3. If adjustment is needed, turn the lock nut (B, Figure 36)
on both left and right hanger rods (A) the same number
of rotations to raise or lower the rear of the deck.
4. Measure the blade tips again.
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 until proper leveling is
obtained.
