DS60-3 Deck Leveling

The mower deck and support frame are jig welded
and the deck support linkage is factory adjusted.
Within normal tolerances, very little, if any, adjust-
ment should be required to level the deck. Tire
size and pressure will affect the levelness of the
deck. Assure that all tires (tractor and deck
caster wheels) are properly inflated prior to
checking deck levelness or performing the

deck leveling procedure.

Measuring Deck Levelness

1. Position the mower on a smooth, level sur-
face, and set the deck height to the most
common cutting position. Refer to Adjusting
Cutting Height on page 40.

Deck Leveling Procedure

face, and set the deck height to the most
common cutting position. Refer to Adjusting
Cutting Height on page 40.
The machine must be shut off during this
procedure.
2. Place a block of sufficient height under the left
rear corner of the deck housing to remove
tension from the left rear deck support chain.
Detach the left rear deck support chain by
removing the upper bolt from the height ad-
juster arm. Remove the block and let the deck
hang from the remaining three support chains.
