SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Deck Leveling - All Models
1. Position mower on a smooth, level surface. Set the
cutting height to the highest position - 4 in. (102
mm) - for easy access under the deck to measure
blade height.
NOTE: A block of wood cut 4 in. (102 mm) high is
a convenient gauge to measure blade height above
ground during the leveling process.
2. Check the side-to-side level. Rotate each blade
sideways and measure the distance from blade tip
to ground on each side. If measurements vary more
than 1/8 in. (3 mm), add a washer shim under the
deck support pins on the low side to level the deck.
3. Check the front-to-rear level. Rotate the blades to
point forward. Measure the distance from blade
tip to ground on the front and rear. The rear of the
blade should be 1/8 to 1/4 in. (3 to 6 mm) higher
than the front of the blade; shim the rear (or front)
deck support pins equally to achieve at least 1/8 in.
(3 mm) difference.
NOTE: The mower deck and support frame are jig
welded; within normal tolerances, very little, if any,
shimming should be required to level the deck. Tire
pressure will influence the levelness of the deck.
Check the tire pressure as a possible cause of the
deck not being level.
WARNING
The machine must be shut off during this
procedure.
