2. Sail area of blade 4. Measure here
6. Measure between the outside cutting edges and
the flat surface (Figure 40). If both measurements
are not within 3/16 inch (5 mm), an adjustment is
required; continue with this procedure.
7. At the left side of the machine. Loosen, but do not
remove, the rear locking nut on the hanger bracket
(Figure 41).
8. Loosen the side locking nut on the hanger bracket
just enough to allow the centric plate to be adjusted
(Figure 41). Use a 3/8 inch drive extension on a
socket wrench to manipulate the centric plate. Use
the wrench to reposition the height of the mower
deck and adjust to the desired height.
9. Stop the deck at the adjusted position and tighten
the side locking nut on the hanger bracket to hold
the new position (Figure 41).
10. Continue leveling the deck by checking the
front-to-rear blade slope; refer to Adjusting the
Front-to-Rear Blade Slope.

Adjusting the Front-to-Rear
Blade Slope
Check the front-to-rear blade level any time you install
the mower. If the front of the mower is more than
5/16 inch (7.9 mm) lower than the rear of the mower,
adjust the blade level using the following instructions:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers outward to the
park position, stop the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Check the air pressure of all four tires. If needed,
adjust to the recommended inflation; refer to
Checking the Tire Pressure in Drive System
Maintenance , page 30.
4. Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level if you
have not checked the setting; refer to Leveling the
Mower from Side-to-Side.
5. Set the height-of-cut at position D [3 inch (76 mm)]
and carefully rotate the blades so they are facing
front to rear (Figure 42).
