Adjusting Mower Deck Wheels

  1. IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! The mower deck can be damaged if mower wheels are adjusted wrong:

    • Wheels must not ride on ground supporting mower weight.
    • Check wheel adjustment each time cutting height is changed.

    Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

  2. Inflate tires to the correct pressure.

  3. Lower mower deck to the desired mowing position.

  4. NOTE: Bottom of wheels should be approximately 3—13 mm (1/8—1/2 in.) from the ground. If mowing at 75 mm (3 in.) height of cut or higher, set anti-scalp wheels in lowest position.
