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 (7.9 mm) 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.
4. Carefully rotate the blades so they are facing front
to rear (Figure 51 ).
