Checking the Mower Level
For optimum efficiency, the level of the mower should be
checked at the time of initial installation and periodically,
to ensure that the blades are 1/8 in. (3 mm) lower in the
front than in the rear.
The mower must be checked and adjusted on a flat level
surface, preferably concrete. Before checking the mower
level, set the air pressure in the front and rear tires as
specified in the tractor operator's manual. Place the
mower height-of-cut lever to the middle cut position.
Ensure that the two adjustable front wheels are off the
ground.
Adjusting Front-to-Rear Blade Cut
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking
brake, lower the attachment lift, stop the engine, and
remove the ignition key.
2. Carefully rotate one of the blades so it is facing front
and rear (Fig. 17).
