Adjusting the Mower Deck

Leveling deck

Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface.
Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. See
Technical Data / Transmission. If tires are under or over
inflated, the deck cannot be properly adjusted. Raise the deck
to the highest (transport) position.
The deck should be adjusted slightly higher in the rear.
NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower deck
drive belt must be installed prior to leveling deck.
1. Wear heavy gloves. Turn each blade tip to align side to
side.
2. Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the
blade tip on the discharge side of the mower deck.
Record this measurement.
3. Move to the opposite side, check that the measurement
is the same. If adjustment is required—with a ¾" or
adjustable wrench, turn the lift link adjustment nuts on
either side counter clockwise to lower or clockwise to
raise. Adjust until both side-to-side measurements are
equal.
