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
7.9 mm (5/16 inch) lower than the rear of the mower,
adjust the blade level using the following procedure:
1.
Park the machine on a level surface and
disengage the blade-control switch.
2.
Move the motion-control levers outward to the
P
position, shut off the engine, remove the
ARK
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
Leveling from Side to Side (page
4.
Carefully rotate the blades so that they are
facing front to rear
