Adjusting the Front-to-Rear Blade
Slope
Check the front-to-rear blade level anytime you install
the mower. If the front of the mower is more than 5/16"
(7.9mm) 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 to the brake
position, stop the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Check the air pressure of all four tires. If needed,
adjust to the recommended inflation; refer to
Specifi cations, Section 2.
4. Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level if you
have not checked the setting; refer to Leveling the
Mower from Side-to-Side.
5. Measure the length of the rod extending out of the
adjusting block on the sides of the chassis (Fig. A6
