10. Measure from the tip of the front blade to the flat
surface and the tip of the rear blade to the flat
surface (Figure 56). If the front blade tip is not
1/16-5/16 inch (1.6-7.9 mm) lower than the rear
blade tip, adjust the front locknuts.

11. To adjust the front-to-rear blade slope, remove the
locknuts and then rotate the adjustment nuts in the
front of the mower (Figure 57).
12. To raise the front of the mower, tighten the
adjustment nuts. To lower the front of the mower,
loosen the adjustment nuts.
13. After adjusting both adjustment nuts evenly, check
the front-to-rear slope again. Continue adjusting
the nuts until the front blade tip is 1/16-5/16 inch
(1.6-7.9 mm) lower than the rear blade tip (Figure 57).
Note:
After adjusting the adjustment nuts,
make sure there is no slack in either support rod
(Figure 58). Tighten either one to remove the slack
(Figure 57).

14. When the front-to-rear blade slope is correct,
tighten the lock nuts and check the side-to-side level
of the mower; refer to Leveling the Mower from
Side-to-Side.
Removing the Mower
Note:
Before removing the mower, make a note for
which holes are used in the leveling brackets (Figure 59).
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers to the brake position,
stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Lower the height-of-cut lever to the lowest position.
4. Remove the hairpin cotter and clevis pin from
the front support rod on each side of the mower
(Figure 58).
