mower blades so that they are pointing from side-to-side
(Figure 21).
(Figure 21).
4. Measure the distance between the outside tips of each
blade (A, Figure 22) and the ground (B). If there is more
than 1/8” (3mm) difference between the measurements on
each side, proceed to step 5. If the difference is 1/8”
(3mm) or less, proceed to step 6.
than 1/8” (3mm) difference between the measurements on
each side, proceed to step 5. If the difference is 1/8”
(3mm) or less, proceed to step 6.
5. Side-to-side leveling is accomplished using the threaded
rod (A, Figure 23) and trunnion (B) on the right and left

Front-To-Back Leveling
6. Arrange the blades so they face front-to-back (Figure 24).
7. Measure the distance from the ground to the front tip of the
center blade and from the ground to the rear tip of the rear
blades (Figures 22 & 24). The front tip of the front blade
should be 1/8” - 1/4" (3 - 6mm) higher than the rear tips of
the rear blades. If not, proceed with steps 8 - 9.

8. The front hitch rods (A, Figure 25) are used to adjust front-
to-back leveling. To raise or lower the front of the mower
deck, loosen the rear jam nuts (B) on both front hitch rods
(A). Adjust the front jam nuts (C) on both hitch rods (A) to
adjust the mower deck level. When adjusted correctly,
