Deck Leveling
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 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 ADJUSTING
CUTTING HEIGHT in Operating Instructions.
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.
WARNING
The machine must be shut off 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 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.
Deck Leveling
NOTE: For the DS52 and DS62 decks with
three (3) staggered blades, the front-to-rear
level should be set using the middle blade
pointing forward, and either outside blade
pointing back.
