Leveling the Mower Deck

Note:
Ensure that the mower deck is level before
matching the height of cut (HOC).
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Check tire pressure of the drive tires.
If needed, adjust to 124 kPa (18 psi).
4. Using the deck-lift switch, move the deck height
out of the transport position (140 mm/5-1/2
inches cutting height).
