3.15 LEVELING FRONT MOWER _________________________________________________________________
1. Before leveling the front deck, the mower tires, and caster
wheels must be properly inflated. The cutting height is directly
related to the radius of the tire.
2. Set the cutting height of the front mower to 5-1/2 in. (140 mm).
3. Rotate all blades so that one end of the blade (A) is pointing
forward.
4. Fully lower front deck. Measure from the ground to point (A)
and from the ground to point (B). Point (B) must be 1/8 in. (3
mm) higher than point (A).
5. Add or remove shims (C) as required between bumper pad (D)
and lift arm (E).
6. Once the front mower has been properly leveled, the cutting
height may be readjusted without changing the shims. It may be
necessary to re-level the deck if there is a change to the tires.
