DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

To Level the Mower Deck:
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface.
2. Raise the mower deck until it reaches the upper
stop.
3A. If the mower deck is in the HIGH RANGE, place 2
x 4 blocks under the outside edges of the mower
deck with the 3-1/2" sides being vertical. Place a
1/8" (3mm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4
blocks. (See Figure 20)
3B. If the mower deck is in the LOW RANGE, place 2
x 4 blocks under the outside edges of the mower
deck with the 1-1/2" sides being vertical. Place a
1/8" (3mm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4
blocks. (See Figure 20)
4. Lower the mower deck until the deck rests against
the 2 x 4 blocks and spacers.
5. Loosen the bolts (A, Figure 21) that secure the
connecting links (B) together. This will remove
any tension from the mounting linkages and
pivots.
6. Retighten the bolts securely.
7. Verify that the deck height indicator (C) is aligned
with the 4" mark (if in the HIGH RANGE) or the 2"
mark (if in the LOW RANGE). Adjust the indicator
position if necessary.
8. Remove the blocks from under the mower deck.
