Front-to-back adjustment
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Deck must be level side-to-side. If the
following front-to-back adjustment is
necessary, be sure to adjust both front or
both rear linkages equally so the deck will
stay level.
To obtain the best cutting performance, the
deck should be adjusted so the front tip of the
blades are approximately 1/8"
(3.2 mm) to 1/4" (6.5 mm) lower than the rear
tip. If the front tip is higher, this will create a
poor quality of cut.
WARNING!
Blades are sharp. Protect your
hands with gloves and/or wrap
blades with a heavy cloth when
handling.
1. Check adjustment on the right side of the
mower. Position any blade so that the tip
is pointing straight forward. Measure
distance "B" at the front and rear tip of
the blade.
2. Before making any necessary
adjustments, check to make sure that the
deck is level side-to-side.
3. With the deck in the highest cutting
position, 4 1/2" (114 mm) measure the
front tip of the blade to see if the deck is
higher or lower than 4 1/2" (114 mm).
4. To lower the front tip of the blade, using a
9/16" wrench, loosen the hex nuts that
are on the front lift linkages (be sure to
loosen equal amounts).
5. When distance "B" is 1/8" (3.2 mm) to
1/4" (6.5 mm) lower at the front than
rear, the adjustment is done.
6. Reverse above step to raise the deck.
