1. With the mower installed, place the tractor on a
smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn the
front wheels straight forward.
2. Checkfor bent blades and replace if necessary.
3. Placethe mower in mid-cut position. Arrange the
outside mower blades so that they are pointing from
side-to-side.
4. Measure the distance between the outside tips of each
blade and the ground. If there is more than 1/8 in.
(3 mm) difference between the measurements on each
side, proceedto step 5. If the difference is 1/8 in.
(3 mm) or less, proceed to step 6.
5. Turn the Iocknut (B, Figure 36) to raise or lower that
side of the mower.

7. Measure the distance from the ground to the front tip
of the center blade, and from the ground to rear tips of
left-hand and right-hand blades.
Front tip of the center blade should be 1/4 in. (6 mm) higher
than rear tips of left-hand and right-hand blades. If not,
proceed with step 8.
