Figure 53. Orient Blades Front-to-Back
Front To Back Leveling - 33” Deck
If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling.
Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an
uneven cut. See CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.
1. Turn the blade front-to-back as shown in Figure 53.
Measure the distance from the ground to front tip of
blade, and from ground to rear tip of blade (Figures
53). Front tip should be 1/8"-1/4" (3-6 mm) higher
than rear tip. If not, proceed to step 2.
2. The front mower hitch rod (A, Figure 54) is used to
adjust front-to-back leveling. To raise or lower the
front of mower deck, adjust the front jam nuts (C) on
both sides of the hitch rod (A) to adjust the deck level.
