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 to 12 psi (.85 kPa).
If the front blade tip is not 1/8–1/4” (4–7 mm) lower
than the rear blade tip, adjust the blade slope using
the following instructions:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key to “OFF” to stop the
engine. Remove the key.
2. Adjust height-of-cut lever on mower to the
middle of the range and lower attachment lift.
3. Carefully rotate blades so they are facing front
and rear (Fig. 10).
4. Measure between the tip of the front blade
(Fig. 10) and the tip of the rear blade to the flat
surface. If the front blade tip is not 1/8–1/4”
(4–7 mm) lower than the rear blade tip adjust
rear adjustment link.
