Side to Side

If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if
necessary as follows:
WARNING:
tractor's parking brake before making any adjustments to the cutting deck.
• With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and
rotate the both blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.
• Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade tip to the ground and the distance from the
outside of the right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken should be equal. If they're not,
proceed to the next step.
• Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger bracket. See Figure 8B.
• Balance the deck so that both blade tip measurements taken earlier are equal.
• Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.
