3. On both sides of the unit, measure the
distance to the ground at the front and
rear tip of the blade. See Figure 47.
• If the front tip of the blade is ± 0.635 cm
(1/4") lower than the rear, no
adjustment is needed.
• If adjustments are needed, adjust the
nylon locking flange nut on the deck

loosen the nut to lower the deck. See
