Checking the Deck
Front-to-Rear Pitch
1. Check the tire pressure on both deck and traction unit.
2. Position one blade front-to-rear (Fig. 62). Measure at
“C” and “D” locations (Fig. 62) from a level surface to
the cutting edge of the blade tips (Fig. 63).
3. The mower blade should be 1/4 in. (6 mm) lower in
front “C” than in the rear “D”. Rotate blades and
repeat for other blades. If it is not correct, proceed to
Changing the Deck Front–to–Rear Pitch.

height–of–cut posts can be adjusted (Fig. 64).
2. To raise the front of the deck, loosen jam nut and
rotate the front pin clockwise (Fig. 64).
3. To lower the front of the deck, loosen jam nut and
