2.Rotate outside blades so tips are pointed to the front and rear of deck. Measure the distance from blade tips to floor. The distance should be the same, or the rear no more than 1/4” higher than the front. If the rear blade tip is lower or is more than 1/4” higher than the front, proceed to next Step for adjustment.

3.Remove the hair pin & washer from swivel located on lift rod. Remove swivel/lift rod from hanger bracket.

4.Rotate swivel up or down to achieve the proper levelness.

5.Reinstall swivel/lift rod into hanger bracket. Reinstall washer & hair pin to secure swivel to hanger bracket. See Figure 4.7.
