LEVELLING AND ADJUSTING
PITCH OF MOWER DECK
NOTE: Adjust on a level surface, with the
tires inflated to the correct air pressure (see
SPECIFICATIONS on page 29).
Three measurements are required to level
and adjust the pitch of the mower deck.
1. The distance from the mower blades to
the ground.
2. The forward pitch of the mower blades.
3. The pitch of the mower blades from
side-to-side.
The Distance From The Mower
Blades To The Ground (Figure 10):
•
In the lowest cutting position should be
1.5. in. + 1/4 in. (3.8 cm + 0.64 cm).
•
In the highest cutting position should
be 4.5 in. + 1/4 in. (11.4 cm + 0.64
cm).

The Forward Pitch Of The Mower
Blades (Figure 11):
•
Should be 0.0 in. (0.0 mm) to 1/4 in.
(6.35 mm) pitched forward.
NOTE: This measurement must be taken
when the mower blades ends point forward.
Forward Pitch of Mower Blades
Forward Pitch = 0.0 in. (0.0 mm) to
1/4 in. (6.35 mm)

2. Mower Blade
The Pitch Of The Mower Blades From
Side-To-Side (Figure 12):
•
Should be within 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) as
measured on each side of the mower
deck.
NOTE: This measurement must be taken
when the mower blade ends point left and
right.
