Adjusting the Front-to-Rear Blade
Slope
Check the front-to-rear blade level any time you install
the mower. If the front of the mower is more than 5/16
inch (8mm) lower than the rear of the mower, adjust the
blade level using the following instructions:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and
disengage the blade control (PTO).
2. Move the motion control levers to the brake
position, stop the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Check the air pressure of all four tires. If needed,
adjust to the recommended inflation; refer to
“General Specifications” on page 2 - 2.
4. Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level if
you have not checked the setting; refer to
“Leveling the Mower from Side-to-Side” on page 6
- 2.
5. Measure the length of the rod extending out of the
adjusting block on the sides of the chassis (Figure
97).
6. If the rod length is not 3/4 inch (19mm), remove
the hairpin cotter and washer from the end of the
adjusting rod (Figure 97) and turn the rod until the
3/4 inch (19mm) dimension is obtained.
7. Install the end of the rod into the hole in the mower
mount and secure it with the washer and hairpin
cotter. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the opposite
side of the mower.

8. Set the height-of-cut at position D [3 inch (76mm)]
and carefully rotate the blades so they are facing
front to rear (Fig. 42).
