If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling.
Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an
uneven cut. See CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.
1. With the mower installed, place the rider on a
smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn
the front wheels straight forward. Turn the engine
off, set the ground speed control levers to PARK, set
the parking brake lever to ENGAGE, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
2. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.
3. Check the tire pressures. See
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.
4. Set the cutting height to mid position. Arrange the
mower blades so that they are pointing from side-to-
side (Figure 37).
5. Measure the distance between the tips of the outside
blades (A, Figure 36) and the ground (B). If there
is more than 1/8” (3mm) difference between the
measurements on each side, proceed to step 6. If the
difference is 1/8” (3mm) or less, proceed to Front To
Back Leveling.
6. See Figure 38. Side-to-side leveling is accomplished
using the threaded rods (A) and trunnion (B) on the
right and left rear sides of the mower deck. Loosen
the jam nuts (C) and adjust the nuts up or down to
adjust the mower level. When complete, tighten the
jam nuts against the trunnion to lock the adjustment
in place.
