Deck Leveling
The mower deck and support frame are jig welded;
within normal tolerances, very little, if any, shim-
ming should be required to level the deck. Tire
pressure will inuence the levelness of the deck.
Check the tire pressure of all pneumatic tires as a
possible cause of the deck not being level.
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. Refer to Ad-
justing Cutting Height on page 40.
NOTE: A block of wood cut 4 in. (102 mm)
high is a convenient gauge to measure blade
height above ground during the leveling pro-
cess.
WARNING
The machine must be shut o󰀨 during this
procedure.
2. Check the side-to-side level. Rotate each
blade sideways and measure the distance
from blade tip to ground on each side. If mea-
surements 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 dis-
tance 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)
di󰀨erence.
Deck Leveling
NOTE: For the DS52 deck with three (3) stag-
gered blades, the front-to-rear level should be
set using the middle blade pointing forward, and
either outside blade pointing back.
