Leveling the Mower Deck
The mower blades must be level from side-to-side, and
slightly sloped from front-to-back. Check the side-to-side
level and the front-to-back slope any time you install the
mower deck or when you see an uneven cut on your
lawn.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers outward to the neu-
tral position, engage parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
3. Check the air pressure of all four tires. The front
tires should be at 13 psi (90kPa), and the rear tires
should be at 13 psi (90kPa). Adjust tire pressure if
necessary.
4. Carefully rotate the blades side-to-side.
