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.

measurements are equal. Retain measurement.
