Front-to-Rear Blade Slope, page 8.
3/4” to 2-3/4” Height-of-Cut Range
When the mower height-of-cut is set to the 3/4” to 2-3/4”
range the rear gage wheels contact the ground. There is no
side-to-side adjustment for this height range, see
Front-to-Rear Blade Slope.
Front-to-Rear Blade Slope
Check the front-to-rear blade slope any time you install
the mower. Before checking the slope, set air pressure in
the front and rear tires to 12 psi (.85 kPa). If the front
blade tip is not 0–3/8” (0–9.5 mm) lower than the rear
blade tip, adjust the blade slope using the following
instructions:
1. Park the tractor on a flat surface, disengage the power
take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the
ignition key to “OFF” to stop the engine. Remove the
key.
2. Check and adjust side-to-side blade level if you have
not checked the setting; refer to Side-to-Side Mower
Leveling, page 7.
3. Adjust the Dial-A-Height knob so the height-of-cut is
in the middle of the range and lower attachment lift.
4. Carefully rotate blades so they are facing front and
rear (Fig. 10).
5. Measure between the tip of the front blade (Fig. 10)
and the tip of the rear blade to the flat surface. If the
front blade tip is not 0–3/8” (0–9.5 mm) lower than the
rear blade tip adjust front adjustment link.

adjustable link by turning bolt clockwise.
