(3mm) (Fig. 121).

Deck
Check to ensure the mower deck is level any time you
install the mower or when you see an uneven cut.
The mower deck must be checked for bent blades
prior to leveling; any bent blades must be removed
and replaced. Refer to the Checking for Bent Blades
procedure before continuing.
The mower deck must be leveled side-to-side rst then
the front to rear slope can be adjusted.
Requirements:
• The machine must be on a level surface.
• All four tires must be properly inated.
Checking Side-to-Side Level
The mower blades must be level from side to side.
Check the side-to-side level any time you install the

A blade that is bent or damaged could break apart
and could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders.
• Always replace bent or damaged blade with a
new blade
• Never le or create sharp notches in the edges
or surfaces of blade
a. If the difference between A and B is greater than
1/8” (3mm) replace the blade with a new blade as
outlined in this chapter.
• Recheck, starting at step 1.
Note: If a bent blade is replaced with a new one and
the dimension obtained continues to exceed
1/8” (3mm), the blade spindle shaft could be
bent.
b. If the variance is within constraints, move to the next
blade.
Repeat this procedure on each blade.
