Storage; Sharpening Blades - Ventrac HP720 Owner/Operator's Manual & Parts List

Deck Leveling Procedure (cont.):
3. Go to one side of the deck. Turn blade so that the tip is at the back of the deck.
Measure the distance from the floor to the blade.
4. Move to the other side. Turn that blade tip to the back of the deck. If this
measurement is different from the first, adjust the threaded rod linkage directly
above on the top side of the deck until the measurement is the same as the first
side.
5. Once the deck has been leveled side to side, rotate the same tip of the blade to the
front and measure. The distance to the floor should be the same or slightly less
than (not to exceed 1/8") the rear measurement. Front adjustment is made by
loosening the cross bolts in the frame that extends toward each front tire. The bolts
are in slotted holes. Moving them forward lowers the deck. Moving them toward
the rear raises the deck.
Note: Slight movement of the bolt in the front carrier slots will make a significant
difference in the front deck height.
Seasonal Storage:
Before the mower is stored, thoroughly clean both the underside of the deck and any
accumulated clippings or debris on the top side.

Sharpening Blades:

It is recommended that blades be sharpened and balanced by a professional. Maintain
balance, same bevel, and length of sharpened surface.
