Deck wheels do more than carry the mower: they set the cutting height and let the deck follow uneven ground. Set too low, they scrape the surface; set too high, the deck floats and cuts unevenly. Adjusting them correctly is a small change that improves the whole cut.
The deck wheels support the deck at the chosen height. With the deck set to the intended cut height, adjust the wheels so they just support the deck, with a small amount of clearance. The deck then cuts at a consistent height rather than floating up and down.
Deck wheels should let the deck follow ground contours, not hold it rigid. If the wheels carry all the weight, the deck skips over bumps. Set them so the deck can move slightly with the ground, giving a smoother cut on uneven land.
On a deck with several wheels, each must be set to the same height. One wheel set low tilts the deck and leaves a ridge in the cut. Measure the wheel position at each corner, and set them evenly. A level deck cuts evenly across its width.
After setting, run the mower and watch the wheels. A wheel that drags on the ground, or lifts off, means the height is wrong. Wheels that roll freely, just touching the ground, let the deck follow naturally. Adjust and re-test until the cut is even.
Mark the wheel positions once a good setting is found. Different grass lengths need different heights, and a known starting point saves time next time. A correctly set deck cuts cleanly, follows the ground, and leaves an even finish.
