Leveling the Mower

If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling. Unequal
or improper tire pressure may also cause an uneven cut.
Make sure tire pressure is correct as specified in CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE section.
Side-To-Side Leveling
1. With the mower installed, place the tractor on a smooth,
level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn the front
wheels straight forward.
2. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.
3. Place the mower in mid-cut position. Arrange the
outside mower blades so that they are pointing from
side-to-side.
4. Measure the distance between the outside tips of each
blade and the ground. If there is more than 1/8" (3 mm)
difference between the measurements on each side,
proceed to Step 5. If the difference is 1/8" (3 mm) or
less, proceed to Step 6.
5. Loosen the outside nut (a, Figure 21). Turn the
eccentric nut (B) to raise or lower left-hand side of
mower. When mower is level, hold the eccentric nut
while tightening the outside nut.
NOTE: When using a turbo collection system, raise
the discharge side of the mower approximately 1/4" (6
mm) to compensate for turbo assembly weight. Check
the level of the cut grass and adjust the 1/4" (6 mm)
measurement as necessary for a smooth, even cut.
