Decks and Lift Shaft
135
Front To Rear (pitch) Leveling
1. With the mower parked on a firm, level surface,
move the deck to the mid height or most commonly
used position using the deck lift pedal. Rotate the
blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is paral
-
lel with the mower frame.
NOTE: Check the mower’s tire pressure before
performing any deck leveling adjustments.
The recommended operating tire pressure
is:
• Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires
• Approximately 20 psi for the front tires
2. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip
to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the
ground.
3. The front measurement taken should be between 1/4” - 3/8” less than the rear measurement. Determine the
approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and proceed, if necessary, to the next step.
4. Raise or lower the left and right side of the deck by turning the lock nut on the front deck hanger.
• Tightening the nut will raise the front of the deck.
• Loosening the nut will lower the front of the deck.
5. Re-measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the
ground.
