Changing the Deck
Front-to-Rear Pitch
Changing the front-to-rear pitc h is done b y
adjusting the front height-of-cut posts .
1. T o c hang e the front-to-rear pitc h, the front
height-of-cut posts can be adjusted ( Figure 63 ).

2. T o raise the front of the dec k, loosen jam n ut
and rotate the front pin cloc kwise ( Figure 63 ).
3. T o lo w er the front of the dec k, loosen jam
n ut and rotate the front pin counter cloc kwise
( Figure 63 ).
4. P osition the blades front-to-rear . Measure at
C and D locations ( Figure 62 ) from a lev el
surface to the cutting edg e of the blades .
5. Chec k the side-to-side lev eling of the cutting
unit.
6. Tighten the jam n uts ( Figure 63 ).
Checking the Deck
Side-to-Side Leveling
1. Chec k the tire pressure on both dec k and
traction unit.
2. P osition the blades side-to-side ( Figure 64 ).
Measure at B and C locations ( Figure 64 ) from
a lev el surface to the cutting edg e of blade tips
( Figure 64 ).

1. Measure from a level
surface
2. Measure blade at points B
and C
3. T he difference betw een measurements B and
C should be no more than 1/4 inc h (6 mm).
