MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS)
Side To Side Level (48" Cutting Deck)
Before making deck leveling adjustments, check the tire
pressure. Add or release air as needed to bring pressure
to 10 PSI in front and 10 PSI in rear tires. If tires are
property inflated and mowing ts still uneven, adjust side-
to-side deck levelness first as follows:
1. Place machine on a smooth level surface.
2. Rotate outside blades so tips are pointed to the
sides of deck. See Figure 51. Measure the
distance from blade tips to floor. If the
measurement is within 1/8" from side-to-side, the
deck levelness is satisfactory. If the difference
from side-to-side is greater than 1/8", continue to
next step for adjustment.
3. Place a 2 x 4 piece of wood under the front
middle portion of deck. Place one 2 x 4 piece of
wood under the rear of deck on both sides behind
the two outside blades. See Figure 51.
4. Lower deck down to rest on the three 2 x 4
pieces of wood. Make sure there is no deck
tension on the lift rods supporting the deck.
5. Loosen the bolt and nut that secures the front lift
arm weldment to the front lift arm. See Inset.
6. Remove both hair pins and washers from swivel
located on rear lift rods and pull rod out of lift
brackets.
7. Rotate swivels on both sides up or down to
achieve the proper levelness. See Figure 51A.
8. Reinstall swivel into deck bracket. Reinstall
washers and hair pins.
9. Tighten nut and bolt on front lift arm securely.
4.3.4. MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS)
Front to Rear Deck Pitch (48" Deck)
Before making deck leveling adjustments, check the
tire pressure. Add or release air as needed to bring
pressure to 10 PSI in front and 10 PSI in rear tires. If
tires are properly inflated and mowing is still uneven,
check side-to-side deck levelness first then proceed
to front to rear adjustment. Adjust front to rear deck
levelness as follows:
1. Place machine on a smooth level surface.
2. Rotate outside blades so tips are pointed to the
front and rear of deck. Measure the distance
from blade tips to floor. The distance should be
the same. If the rear blade tip is higher lower
than the front, proceed to Step 4 for adjustment.
3. Remove the hair pin & washer from swivel
located on front lift rod. Remove swivel/lift rod
from hanger bracket.
4. Rotate swivel up or down to achieve the proper
levelness.
5. Reinsert swivel/lift rod into hanger bracket.
Reinstall washer & hair pin. See Figure 51A.
