the mower� If the front of the mower is more than 5/16”
(7�9mm) 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 switch�
2� Move the motion control levers outward to the park
position, stop the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position�
3� Set the height-of-cut lever to middle position�
Note: Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level.
If you have not checked the setting; refer to
“Side-to-Side Leveling” in this chapter.

deck and adjust it so that the measurements taken in
step 5 are within 3/16” (5mm)�

nut on the hanger bracket (Fig� 140)� Tighten the
rear locking nut on the hanger bracket�
