Zero Turn Mower support

Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. See Technical Data / Transmission. If tires are under or over inflated, the deck cannot be correctly adjusted. Raise the deck to the highest (transport) position.

The deck must be adjusted slightly higher in the rear.

NOTE: To insure the precision of the leveling procedure, the mower deck drive belt must be installed before leveling the deck.

1
Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip
to align front to rear with the deck side-to-side.

2
Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade tip on the discharge side of the mower deck. Record the measurement.

3
Move to the opposite side, check that measurement is the same. If adjustment is required—with a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn the lift link adjustment nuts on either side counter clockwise to lower or clockwise to raise. Adjust until both measurements are equal.

4
Turn any blade to align with the deck front-torear. If the front blade tip does not measure 1/8" to 1/2" higher in the rear—with a 5/8"or adjustable wrench, turn the nuts on the front suspension linkage. Clockwise raises the front of the mower, counter clockwise will lower the front. Adjust nuts until rear of mower deck is positioned level to 1/8" higher in the rear than the side-to-side measurement.

NOTE: This will position the mower deck in a standard measurement position. Depending on the type of grass being mowed or environmental conditions, additional adjustments may be required to get the desired cut.

NOTE: For illustration, the front foot rest has been removed. The adjustment can be made without removal.
