6.
Level the deck by using a wrench to turn the adjustment gear (found
immediately behind the hex screw just loosened) clockwise to lower the left
side of the deck, or counterclockwise to raise the left side of the deck. See
Figure 36.
7.
The deck is properly leveled when both blade tip measurements taken earlier
are equal.
8.
Retighten the hex cap screw on the right deck hanger bracket when proper
adjustment is achieved.
Front to Back Leveling
The front of the deck should be approximately 1⁄ 4 " lower than the rear of the deck.
Adjust if necessary as follows:
1.
With the deck raised off of the ground, rotate the outer blades so that they
are parallel to the frame of the riding mower.
2.
If the side to side leveling was done correctly, measuring just the right blade
should be acceptable to attain the correct back to front pitch of the deck.
3.
Measure the distance from the front tip of the blade to the ground and
the distance from the rear tip to the ground. The front distance should be
approximately 1⁄ 4 " less than the rear. If it is not, proceed to the next step.
4.
If the front of the deck was too low, turn the flange lock nuts clockwise
against the hanger bracket to shorten the front hanger rod and raise the
front of the deck. Refer to Figure 37.
Flange Lock Nuts
5.
If the front of the deck was too high, turn the flange lock nuts counterclockwise
to lengthen the front hanger rod and lower the front of the deck.
NOTE: The deck front hanger rod should be at the front of the slots of the
front deck bracket. If one side of the rod is not at the front of its slot, turn the
inner flange lock nut on that side until rod just touches the front of the slot.
Then re-measure and re-adjust the front hanger rod as necessary.

Adjusting the Gauge Wheels
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck gauge wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not
designed to support the weight of the cutting deck.
The mower deck cutting height can be set in any of six height settings using the
riding mower's deck lift handle. The deck heights range from 1-1⁄2" to 4". The deck
gauge wheel position should be approximately 1⁄ 4 -1⁄2" above the ground when the
deck is set in the desired height setting.
Using the lift handle, set the deck in the desired height setting, then check the
gauge wheel distance from the ground below. If necessary adjust as follows:
1.
Visually check the distance between the front gauge wheel and the ground.
If the gauge wheel is near or touching the ground, it should be raised. If
more than 1⁄2" above the ground, it should be lowered.
2.
Remove the flange lock nut securing the front gauge wheel shoulder bolt to
the deck. Remove the gauge wheel and shoulder bolt. Refer to Figure 38.
3.
Insert the shoulder bolt into the one of four index holes in the front gauge
wheel bracket that will give the gauge wheel a 1⁄ 4 -1⁄2" clearance with the
ground and secure with the flange lock nut.
4.
Note the index hole of the just adjusted wheel, and adjust the rear gauge
wheel into the respective index holes of the other gauge wheel bracket on
the deck.
