a. Loosen jam nuts against deck-leveling
links.

Adjust Blade Pitch
IMPORTANT: Side-to-side deck heights
MUST
remain even after completing pitch
adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Pitching the front of the blades lower
than the rear provides a balance
between cut quality
and the power needed to cut grass. Certain cutting
conditions require the deck rear to be pitched lower
than the front. Positioning the deck this way requires
more engine power but can provide better cut
quality.
1. Increase forward pitch:
a. Loosen jam nuts against all deck-
leveling links.
b. Turn front adjustment bolts
counterclockwise to lower deck front.
c. Turn rear adjustment bolts clockwise
to
raise deck rear.
d. Check adjustment. See Check Blade
Level and Pitch on page 30.
e. Tighten jam nuts against deck-leveling
links.
2. Decrease forward pitch:
a. Loosen jam nuts against all deck-
leveling links.
b. Turn front adjustment bolts clockwise to
raise deck front
c. Turn rear adjustment bolts
