Checking the Front-to-Rear Blade
Slope
Check the front-to-rear blade level any time you install
the mower . If the front of the mower is more than
7.9 mm (5/16 inch) lower than the rear of the mower ,
adjust the blade level.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch (PT O), and move the
motion-control levers outward to the P ARK
position.
2. Shut of f the engine, remove the key , and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Set the height of cut to 76 mm (3 inches).
4. Carefully rotate the blades so they are facing
front to rear ( Figure 60 ).
5. Measure from the tip of the front blade to the
at surface and the tip of the rear blade to the
at surface ( Figure 60 ).
Note: If the front blade tip is not 1.6 to 7.9 mm
(1/16 to 5/16 inch) lower than the rear blade
tip, continue to the Checking the Front-to-Rear
Blade Slope ( page 43 ) procedure.

4. Place 2 blocks, each having a thickness of 6.6
cm (2-5/8 inches), under each side of the front
edge of the deck but not under the anti-scalp
roller brackets ( Figure 61 ).
