Mower Levelling, Side-To Side -
42" & 48" Mowers
NOTE
The purpose of levelling the mower is
to achieve an even grass cut. Remem¬
ber that improper or unequal tire
pressure will cause an uneven cut.
Also, different terrains may require
different side-to-side adjustments. If
you don't achieve an even cut with the
mower level, try raising one side slight-
lyy higher.
WARNING
To avoid accidental starting during
levelling check, remove the ignition
key and remove both spark plug wires
and fasten them away from the spark
plugs.
NOTE
Tractor and mower must be on a level
surface.
1. T o check for side-to-side levelness on
the mower, disengage the mower clutch
and position the blades so they are
pointing side-to-side.
2. Engage the clutch.
3. Measure the distance from the outside
tips of the blade to the ground. If ihe
difference between the two measure¬
ments is less than 1/ 8 inch (3 mm), the
mower is level. If not, proceed with
next steps.
4. Loosen the two capscrews and flange
nuts in right mower hitch (figure 37).
5. Loosen the shoulder bolt (A, figure
38) and raise or lower mower as
