do not remove, the rear locking nut on the hanger
bracket (Fig. 136).
5. Carefully rotate the blades side-to-side (Fig. 135).
Measure between the outside cutting edges and the
level surface (Fig. 135). If both measurements are
not within 3/16” (5mm), an adjustment is required;
continue with this procedure.

7. Loosen the side locking nut on the hanger bracket
just enough to allow the eccentric plate to be
adjusted (Fig. 135). Use a 3/8” drive extension on a
socket wrench to manipulate the eccentric plate. Use
the wrench to reposition the deck height and adjust
so the measurements taken in Step 5 are within
3/16” (5mm).
8. When at the desired position, tighten the side locking
nut on the hanger bracket (Fig. 136). Tighten the
rear locking nut on the hanger bracket.
9. Continue leveling the deck by checking the front-
to-rear blade slope; refer to “Adjusting the Front-to-
Rear Blade Slope” in this chapter.
