Adjusting the Front–to–Rear Mower Pitch
1. Position the right blade front-to-rear (Fig. 70).
2. Measure the right blade at the A location (Fig. 70),
from a level surface to the cutting edge of the blade tip
(Fig. 71).
3. Record this measurement.
4. Measure the right blade at the B location (Fig. 70),
from a level surface to the cutting edge of the blade tip
(Fig. 71).
5. Record this measurement.
6. The mower blade should be a 1/4 to 3/8 inch
(6 to 10 mm) lower at position A than at position B
(Fig. 70). If it is not correct, proceed to the following
steps.

Note: Both of the front swivels need to be adjusted the
same amount to maintain equal chain tension.
7. Loosen the front swivel jam nuts, at the front of the
right and left swivels, approximately a 1/2 inch
(13 mm) (Fig. 72).
8. Adjust the lift nuts on both the left and the right side of
the machine to achieve 1/4 to 3/8 inch (6 to 10 mm)
lower in front at A than in the rear at B (Fig. 72).
