Adjusting the Front-to-Rear Blade

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.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the
blade-control switch.
2. Engage the parking brake, shut off 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 the middle position.
Note: Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level
if you have not checked the setting; refer to
from Side to Side (page
