Checking 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 7.9 mm
(5/16 inch) 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

position, engage the parking brake,
shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Carefully rotate the blades so they are facing front to
rear (
Figure 63 ).
4. Measure from the tip of the front blade to the flat
surface and the tip of the rear blade to the flat surface
(
Figure 63 ).
Note:
If the front blade tip is not 1.6 to 7.9 mm (1/16
to 5/16 inch) lower than the rear blade tip, continue to
the
Leveling the Mower Deck (page 43) procedure.
