FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 35 & 36)

IMPORTANT:

 Deck must be level side-to-side.

To obtain the best cutting re sults, the mower blades should 

be adjusted so the front tip is 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the 

rear tip when the mower is in its highest position.

CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect 

your hands with gloves and/or wrap 

blade with heavy cloth.

•  Raise mower to highest position.
• 

Position any blade so the tip is pointing straight forward. 

Measure distance (B) to the ground at front and rear 

tip of the blade.

TO LEVEL MOWER

Make sure tires are properly inflated to the PSI shown on 

tires. If tires are over or under inflated, it may affect the 

appearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower 

is not adjusted properly.
VISUAL SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 33)
• 

With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears 

unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting 

lower.

NOTE:

 As desired, you can raise the low side of mower 

or lower the high side.
•  Go to side of mower you wish to adjust.
•  With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjust-

ment nut (A) to the left to lower the mower, or, to the 

right to raise the mower.

NOTE

: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower 

height about 3/16".
•  Test your adjustment by mowing some uncut grass 

and visually checking the appearance. Readjust, if 

necessary, until you are satisfied with the results.

mower height about 1/8".
• 

Recheck measurements, adjust if necessary until front 

tip of blade is 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the rear tip.
