4. Move the height-of-cut lever (deck lift) into the “C”
notch.
5. Measure the length of the rod extending out the
front of the adjusting block on the sides of the
chassis (Figure 224). If the rod length is not 5/8”
(16mm), remove the hairpin cotter and washer
from the end of the rod (Figure 224), 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.
6. Check the front to rear slope by measuring
between the bottom of the mower (front center
and rear center) and the flat surface (Figure 225).
If the front is not within a range of 1/8” - 3/8” (3mm
- 9mm) lower than the rear, an adjustment is
required.

7. To adjust front-to-rear blade slope loosen front
pivot plate mounting bolts slightly (Figure 226).
8. Rotate lock nuts on eyebolts to change
adjustment (Figure 226). 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 1/8” -
3/8” (3 - 9mm) lower than the rear blade tip
(Figure 226).
