measurement is the same. If adjustment is
required—with a 3/4" or adjustable wrench,
turn the lift link adjustment nuts on either
side counter clockwise to lower or clockwise
to raise. Adjust until both measurements are
equal.
4. Turn either blade to align with the deck front-
to-rear. If the front blade tip does not measure
1/4" to 3/8" (6,35 mm to 9,52 mm) lower
than the rear, remove the foot plate access
the front deck adjustment. With an adjustable
wrench, loosen the rear jam nut on the front
suspension linkage.
Make adjustment to level with the front lift link
nut. Clockwise raises the front of the mower,
counter clockwise will lower the front. Adjust
the nut until rear blade tip is 1/4" to 3/8"
higher than the front blade tip.
NOTE: This will position the mower deck in a
standard measurement position. Depending on
the type of grass being mowed or environmental
conditions, additional adjustments may be
required to get the desired cut.
