MAINTENANCE
Adjusting the Mower Deck
Leveling Deck
Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level
surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to
the correct pressure. See Tire Pressures in
Maintenance section. If tires are under or over
inflated, the deck cannot be properly adjusted.
Faulty mower deck adjustments will cause an
uneven mowing result.
Four bolts control the height and pitch of the
mower deck. The deck should be adjusted slightly
higher in the rear.
NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure,
mower deck drive belt must be installed prior to
leveling the deck.
1. Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip
to align with the deck side-to-side.
2. Measure from the floor surface up to the
bottom of the blade tip on the discharge side
of the mower deck. Record this measurement.
Move to the opposite side; check that
measurement is the same. If adjustment is
required, loosen the locknut and adjust bolt
up until both side-to-side measurements are
equal. Retain measurement.
3. Turn both outer blades to align with the deck
front-to-rear. Reposition rear mounting bolts
up or down until rear blade tips are positioned
1/8" to 3/8" higher in the rear than the front
blade tips.

4. Confirm measurements once again. Blade
tip height should be equal in a side-to-side
manner. In the rear, blade tips should be 1/8"
to 3/8" higher than the front measurement.
In the front, blade tips should be equal from
side-to-side.
NOTE: This will place the mower deck in a
standard measurement position. Depending on
the type of grass being mowed or environmental
conditions, additional adjustments may be
required to achieve the desired cut.
Deck Lift Spring
When mowing 2" or lower, it may be necessary to
adjust the deck lift springs. Access the springs by
tilting the seat forward. Loosen the nut to adjust
the spring tension.
Anti-scalp Rollers
Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the proper
position to help prevent scalping in most terrain
conditions. Do not adjust the rollers to support the
deck.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Adjust anti-scalp
rollers with the mower on a flat level surface.
To avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers
must not be adjusted to support the deck.
Anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions.
• Upper 38 mm to 63.5 mm grass
• Middle 63.5 mm to 101.6 mm grass
• Lower 101.6 mm to 127 mm grass
The rollers should be approximately 6.35 mm
from the ground. Do not adjust the rollers to
support the deck.
