4. Measure the length of the rod extending out the
front of the adjusting block on the sides of the
chassis (Figure 243). If the rod length is not 5/8”
(16mm), remove the hairpin cotter and washer
from the end of the rod (Figure 243), and turn the
rod until the 5/8” (16mm) dimension is obtained.
Then install the end of the rod into the hole in the
mower mount and secure in place with washer
and hairpin cotter. Repeat this procedure on the
opposite side of the mower.

5. Move the height-of-cut lever (deck lift) into the “C”
notch and carefully rotate the blades so they are
facing front to rear (Figure 244).
6. Measure between the tip of the front blade (Figure
244) and the tip of the rear blade to the flat
surface. If the front blade tip is not 0-5/16” (0-
8mm) lower than the rear blade tip an adjustment
is needed (Figure 244).

7. To adjust front-to-rear blade slope loosen front
pivot plate mounting bolts slightly (Figure 245).
8. Rotate lock nuts on eyebolts to change
adjustment (Figure 245). To raise the front of the
mower tighten the eyebolt lock nuts. To lower the
front of the mower loosen the eyebolt lock nuts.
9. After adjusting both eyebolt lock nuts evenly,
check the front-to-rear slope again. Continue
adjusting eyebolts until the front blade tip is
0-5/16” (0-8mm) lower than the rear blade tip
(Figure 245).
