1-1/2 to 3 in. (38-76 mm) Height-of-Cut
Range
When the mower height-of-cut is set to the 1-1/2 to 3 in.
(38-76 mm) range the rear gage wheels contact the ground.
There is no side-to-side adjustment for this height range,
see Front-to-Rear Blade Slope.
Adjusting the Front-to-Rear
Blade Slope
Check the front-to-rear blade slope any time you install the
mower. Before checking the slope, set air pressure in the
front and rear tires to 20 psi (138 kPa). If the front blade tip
is not 0–3/8 in. (0–9.5 mm) lower than the rear blade tip,
adjust the blade slope using the following instructions:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn
the ignition key to off. Remove the key.
2. Check and adjust side-to-side blade level if you have
not checked the setting; refer to Leveling the Mower
Side-to-Side, page 8.
3. Adjust the Dial-A-Height knob so the height-of-cut is in
the middle of the range and lower attachment lift.
4. Carefully rotate blades so they are facing front and rear
(Fig. 14).
5. Measure between the tip of the front blade (Fig. 14).
and the tip of the rear blade to the flat surface. If the
front blade tip is not 0–3/8 in. (0–9.5 mm) lower than
the rear blade tip adjust front adjustment links.
