2. Move bolts on the front and rear deck hanger chains
up or down in the slots until the cutter deck is level
between both sides. See Figure 6-5
3. Hold the cutter deck in position and tighten the two (2)
elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper
position.
CUTTER DECk PITCH
The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the front
and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting performance. To
check for proper deck pitch, be sure that the mower is on a
flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.
Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor
at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly behind the cutter
deck hanging chains. Next check the distance from the top of
the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH side of the cutter
deck directly in front of the cutter deck hanging chains. The
measurement at the front of the cutter deck should be the
same as the rear of the deck. Make these measurements at
the LH side of the cutter deck also. If the measurement at
the front of the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch
must be adjusted as follows:
1. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the hanger
chains to the front of the cutter deck. See Figure 6-6
and 6-7.

2. Move bolts on the front hanger chains up or down in
the slots until the cutter deck pitch is equal between
both sides. Hold the cutter deck in position and
tighten the elastic stop nuts.
Figure 6-7. Cutter Deck Pitch Adjustment
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four
(4) cutter deck hanging chains must have tension
on them. If all four chains do not have tension on
them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the
cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above.
All measurements should be taken from the top
edge of the deck as the deck has an uneven
bottom edge.
