Checking the Side-to-Side
Blade Cut
1. Check the tire pressure on the tractor. Refer to the

and B locations (Fig. 11) from a level surface to the
cutting edge of blade tips (Fig. 12).
3. The difference between measurements A and B should
be no more than a 1/4 inch (6 mm).

Adjusting the Side-to-Side
Blade Cut
This adjustment is available if necessary to compensate for
uneven side-to-side cut.
1. Adjust the side-to-side cut by adjusting the two carriage
bolts (Fig. 13) on the rear left of the mower.
2. After adjusting the carriage bolts, check the
side–to–side blade cut. Refer to Checking
the Side–to–Side Blade Cut (Fig. 13).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the difference is no more than
a 1/4 inch.
