uneasy on it, DO NOT mow it.
DO NOT operate on slopes of more than
15°.
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
DO NOT mow on moist or wet grass. Tires
may lose traction causing a loss of control.
Use extra care while operating machine with
grass catchers or other attachments; they
can affect the stability of the machine. DO
NOT use on steep slopes.
Keep all movements on the slope slow and
gradual. DO NOT make sudden changes in
speed or direction, which could cause the
machine to roll over.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a

have to stop or shift while on a slope.
DO NOT operate near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. Unit can suddenly turn over if
a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or
if an edge caves in.
DO NOT bypass transmission or allow
transmission to free-wheel when on a slope.
Fuel
T o avoid personal injury or property damage,
use extreme care in handling gasoline.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.
Ethanol blends must not exceed E10. Higher
ethanol content may cause your machine to
run hotter and damage your engine.
Replace fuel cap securely and clean up
spilled fuel before starting engine.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and
other sources of ignition.
Use only an approved gasoline container.
NEVER store the machine or fuel container

other appliances.
NEVER fill containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner.
ALWAYS place containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
NEVER fuel the machine indoors.
NEVER remove gas cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool before
fueling.
Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are
explosive. Handle with care. Use only an
approved gasoline container with an
appropriately sized dispensing spout.
NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is
not possible, then refuel such equipment
with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until the fueling is complete. DO NOT
use a nozzle lock-open device.
NEVER overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap
and tighten securely.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
Towing/Transporting
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for weight limits for towed equipment and
towing on slopes.
NEVER allow children or others in or on
towed equipment.
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch
designed for towing. DO NOT attach towed
equipment except at the hitch point.

See Figure 48.
4. Position mower blades so ends point left
to right across the width of the deck.
5. Measure the distance between the
ground and the cutting edge of the left
and right blades. If the measurements are
not within 4.7 mm (3/16") of each other,
level the deck. See Level and Pitch
Mower Deck on page 30.
See Figure 49.
6. Position mower blades so ends point
front to back and measure the following:
• At the front of the deck, measure the

• At the rear of the deck, measure the
distance between the ground and the
cutting edge of the left and the right
blades.
5. Reinstall PTO belt. See Install PTO Belt
on page 26.
6. Model 991145 Only: Connect lift-assist

Adjust Blade Pitch
IMPORTANT: Side-to-side deck heights
MUST remain level even after completing
pitch adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Pitching the front of the blades
lower than the rear provides a balance
between cut quality and the power needed to
cut grass. Certain cutting conditions require
the deck rear to be pitched lower than the
front. Positioning the deck this way requires
more engine power but can provide better cut
quality.
1. Increase forward pitch:
a. Loosen jam nuts against all deck-
leveling links.
b. Turn front adjustment bolts
counterclockwise to lower deck front.
c. Turn rear adjustment bolts clockwise
to raise deck rear.
d. Check adjustment. See Check Blade
Level and Pitch on page 30.
e. Tighten jam nuts against deck-
leveling links.
2. Decrease forward pitch:
a. Loosen jam nuts against all deck-
leveling links.
b. Turn front adjustment bolts clockwise
to raise deck front.
c. Turn rear adjustment bolts
counterclockwise to lower deck rear.
d. Check adjustment. See Check Blade
