Leveling Mower Deck
32 Inch Stamped Deck Leveling
Check to ensure the deck is level any time you install the
deck or when there is an uneven cut recognized.
The deck must be checked for bent blades prior
to leveling; any bent blades must be removed and
replaced. Refer to the “Checking for Bent Blades”
procedure, in this chapter, before continuing.
The mower deck must rst be leveled side-to-side, then
the front-to-rear slope can be adjusted.
Requirements:
• The unit must be on a level surface.
• All four tires must be properly inated.
32 Inch Stamped Deck - Side-to-Side
Leveling
1. Park the unit on a level surface and disengage the
PTO switch.
2. Move the motion control levers outward to the park
position, stop engine, remove key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Set the height-of-cut lever to middle position.
5. Measure from the tip of the blade to the level
surface. The variance should be no more than 1/8”
(3mm) (Fig. 119).
A blade that is bent or damaged could break apart
and could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders.
• Always replace bent or damaged blade with a
new blade
• Never le or create sharp notches in the edges
or surfaces of blade
a. If the difference between A and B is greater than
1/8” (3mm) replace the blade with a new blade as
outlined in this chapter.
• Recheck, starting at step 1.
Note: If a bent blade is replaced with a new one and
the dimension obtained continues to exceed
1/8” (3mm), the blade spindle shaft could be
bent.
b. If the variance is within constraints, move to the next
blade.
Repeat this procedure on each blade.
