7. To adjust front-to-rear blade slope loosen front
pivot plate mounting bolts slightly (Fig. 51).
8. Rotate lock nuts on eyebolts to change
adjustment (Fig. 51). To raise the front of the
mower, tighten the eyebolt lock nuts. To lower
the front of the mower, loosen the eyebolt lock
nuts.

check the front-to-read slope again. Continue
adjusting eyebolts until the front blade tip is
0–3/8” (0–9.2 mm) lower than the rear blade tip
(Fig. 51).
