Troubleshooting

When adjusting the deck level, the coarse adjustment 
procedure should be used to make the majority of the 
adjustment and the fine adjustment procedure should 
be used to complete the adjustment.
 1.  Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage 

the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking 
brake. Rear tires must be inflated to 15 psi (1,03 
bar); front tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).

 2.  Lock the deck lift pedal in the 5” (12,7cm) position. 

Place the deck height adjustment pin in the 4” 
position and lower deck the lift pedal until the arm 
contacts the pin.

 3.  Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the 

mower deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical. 
See Figure 43.

 4.  Loosen the nuts and allow the front of the deck to 

rest on the 2 x 4’s. Slide the chains down in the 
slots until the chains are tight and tighten the nuts 
See Figure 44.

 5.  Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to 

rest on the 2 x 4’s. Slide the chains down in the 
slots until the chains are tight and tighten the nuts. 
See Figure 44.

 6.  Remove all 2 x 4 blocks from under the mower 

deck.

 7.  For your safety, DO NOT handle mower blades 

with bare hands. Position the outside mower 
blades so that they face front-to-back (Figure 45).

 8.  Measure from the front tip of the blade from the 

cutting edge to the ground. Measure from the 
rear tip of the blade from the cutting edge to the 
ground. Repeat this process for the other side of 
the machine. The front and back measurements 
should be 4” (10,2 cm). If the measurements are 
greater than 1/8” (3,17 mm) of what they should be 
adjust the deck height until they are correct.

 1.  Loosen the jam nut (A, Figure 46) and turn the 

fine adjustment bolt (B) to adjust the deck height 
until the front measurements equals 4” (10,2 cm). 
Turn the bolt CLOCKWISE to raise the deck; 
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to lower the deck.

 2.  Position the outside mower blades so they face 

front-to-back.

 3.  Remeasure the front tip of the blade from the 

cutting edge to the ground. Measure the rear tip 
of the blade from the cutting edge to the ground. 
Repeat the process for the other side of machine.

 4.  Once the measurement equals 4” (10,2 cm), 

retighten the jam nut.
