Leveling procedure.

2. Outside cutting edges
Checking the Front-to-Rear Blade Slope
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 using the following instructions:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the
blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers outward to the neutral
position, engage the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
3. Carefully rotate the blades so they are facing front to
rear (Figure 64).
4. Measure from the tip of the front blade to the flat
surface and the tip of the rear blade to the flat surface
(Figure 64).
Note: If the front blade tip is not 1.6-7.9 mm
(1/16-5/16 inch) lower than the rear blade tip, continue
to the Leveling the Mower Deck procedure.

Leveling the Mower Deck
1. Set anti-scalp rollers to top holes or remove
completely for this procedure; refer to
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers (page 26).
2. Set the height-of-cut lever to the
76 mm (3 inch) position; refer to
( Adjusting the Height-of-Cut (page 25).
3. Place two 6.66 cm (2-5/8 inch) blocks under each
side of the front edge of the deck, but not under the
anti-scalp roller brackets (Figure 65).
4. Place two 7.30 cm (2-7/8 inch) thick blocks under the
rear edge of the cutting deck skirt; one on each side of
the cutting deck (Figure 65).
