LEVELING THE CUTTING DECK
See Figures 22 - 23.
If your lawn appears unevenly cut after using the mower,
the cutting deck may need adjusting. Before deciding that
leveling the cutting deck is necessary, make sure tires are
properly inflated to the recommended PSI when mowing.
Over- or under-inflated tires can affect the appearance of
the cut, and proper inflation of the tires may be all that is
needed to resolve uneven cutting issues.
NOTE: Always check side-to-side alignment and adjust as
needed before measuring and adjusting front to back.
Before beginning:
Make sure direction control switch is in neutral (N) position
and blade engage knob is down.
Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking
brake.
 Raise the height of the cutting deck to its highest position.
To make side-to-side adjustment:
Position the blades so that the ends point toward the
sides of the mower.
On the outside edge of each blade, measure the distance
from the bottom edge of the side of the blade to the
ground. If the distance between the two sides is greater
than 1/8 in., a side-to-side adjustment is necessary.
On the side you wish to adjust, loosen the jam nuts as
shown.
Turn the adjustment nuts clockwise to raise or counter-
clockwise to lower the side of the cutting deck. Each full
turn of the adjustment nut will change the deck height
approximately 3/16 in.
NOTE: If raising the side, you will need to turn the top
adjustment nut first. If lowering, turn the bottom nut first.
Measure again. Continue to adjust and measure until the
difference between the distance on each side is 1/8 in.
or less.
Proceed to front-to-back adjustment or retighten jam nuts
to secure.
