MAINTENANCE

Front-to-back adjustment

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Deck must be leveled side-to-side, prior to leveling front to back. If the following front to back adjustment is required, be sure to adjust both front and rear linkages equally so the deck will stay level side to side.

To obtain the best cutting performance, the deck should be adjusted so the front tip of the blades are approximately 1/8" (3.2 mm) to 1/4" (6.5 mm) lower than the rear tip. If the front tip is higher, this will create a poor quality of cut.

WARNING!

Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling.

1.Check blade height with blade facing front to rear. Measure distance “B” at the front and rear tip of the blade.

2.Before making any necessary adjustments, check to make sure that the deck is level side-to-side. See “Side to Side Adjustment” in Maintenance section.

3.With the deck in the 4” (100 mm) cutting position, measure the front and rear tip of each blade while facing front to rear.

4.To adjust, loosen the jam nut on the yoke, remove the securing ring and push the clevis pin out while supporting the deck. To lower that specific corner, lengthen the rod assembly by turning the yoke counter clockwise. To raise that specific corner, shorten the rod assembly by turning the yoke clockwise.

5.Reinstall clevis pin and recheck dimension.

6.Once front to back adjustment is correct, reinstall securing rings and secure jam nuts.
