MOWER ADJUSTMENTS
Adjust Mower Cutting Height
& Gauge Wheels
NOTE: Perform adjustment on a hard, level surface such
as a concrete floor.
1. Set the mower height adjustment lever (A, Figure 14)
to the desired cutting height.
2. Remove the pin & clip (B) from each mower deck
front gauge wheel.
3. Adjust the gauge wheels to achieve the appropriate
mower deck-to-ground clearance, as shown in Figure
14. Reinstall pin & clip to each wheel.

Mower Leveling
If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling.
Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an
uneven cut. Tire pressure should be as follows:
• Front: 12 - 15 psi (82-103 kPa)
• Rear: 10 - 12 psi (56-82 kPa)
SIDE TO SIDE LEVELING
1. With the mower installed, place the tractor on a
smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn
the front wheels straight forward.
2. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.
3. Place the mower in mid-cut position. Arrange the out-
side mower blades so that they are pointing from
side-to-side (Figure 15).
4. See Figure 15. Measure the distance between the
outside tips of each blade and the ground. If there is
more than 1/8" (3mm) difference between the mea-
surements on each side, proceed to step 5. If the dif-
ference is 1/8" (3mm) or less, proceed to Front to
Back Leveling.
5. See Figure 16. Loosen the outside nut (A) and taptite
screw (C), then turn the eccentric nut (B) to raise or
lower the left side of the deck. When the mower deck
is level, hold the eccentric nut while tightening the out-
side nut. Retighten taptite screw (C).

Measurement should be within 1/8"
