CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS
6.6 
Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory. 
However,  if  these  adjustments  should  ever  need  to  be 
made,  the  following  procedures  will  aid  in  obtaining  the 
proper cutter deck adjustment.
- Note -
Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments, 
be sure that all tires are properly inflated.
CUTTER DECK LEvEL
The  cutter  deck  should  be  level  from  side-to-side  for 
proper  cutting  performance. To  check  for  level,  be  sure 
that  the  mower  is  on  a  flat,  level  surface,  the  tires  are 
properly  inflated  and  the  cutter  deck  is  set  at  the  most 
common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side 
of  the  machine,  check  the  distance  from  the  top  of  the 
cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the 
top  of  the  cutter  deck  to  the  floor  on  the  LH  side  of  the 
machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the 
two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must 
be adjusted as follows:
If the cutter deck is lower on one side, loosen the 
1. 
elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on the 
front and rear of the lower side. See Figure 6-4.

level links clockwise until the cutter deck is level 
between both sides. See Figure 6-4
Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the

cutter deck in the proper position.
CUTTER DECK PITCH
The  pitch  of  the  cutter  deck  should  be  equal  between 
the  front  and  rear  of  the  cutter  deck  for  proper  cutting 
performance.  To  check  for  proper  deck  pitch,  be  sure 
that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are 
properly inflated.
Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the 
floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly behind 
the cutter deck hanging chains. Next check the distance 
from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH 
side of the cutter deck directly in front of the cutter deck 
hanging chains. The measurement at the front of the cutter 
deck should be the same as the rear of the deck. Make 
these measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also.  
If the measurement at the front of the deck is not the same, 
the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as follows:
Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level 
1. 
links on the front of the cutter deck on both sides. 
See Figure 6-5 and 6-6.

clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower the 
front of the cutter deck until the measurements are 
equal. Tighten the elastic stop nuts.
