Front-to-Rear
Blade Slope
Check the front-to-rear blade slope any time you
install the mower. Before checking the slope, set air
pressure in the front and rear tires as specified in the
tractor operator’s manual. If the front blade tip is not
0–3/8” lower than the rear blade tip, adjust the blade
slope using the following instructions:
1. Park the tractor on a flat surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and
turn the ignition key to “OFF” to stop the
engine. Remove the ignition key.
2. Check and adjust side-to-side blade level if you
have not checked the setting; refer to
Side-to-Side Mower Leveling, page 7.
3. Adjust the Dial-A-Height knob so the
height-of-cut is in the middle of the range and
lower attachment lift.
4. Carefully rotate blades so they are facing front
and rear (Fig. 10).
5. Measure from the tip of the front blade (Fig. 10).
and the tip of the rearward blades to a flat
surface. If the front blade tip is not 0–3/8” lower
than the rear blade tips adjust front adjustment
links.
