4.Adjust forward tilt by measuring from front and rear of blades to ground. The front of the blades should be about 10 mm (3/8 in) lower than the rear of the blades. If difference is less than 5 mm (1/4 in) take washers from bottom of gauge wheel shaft and move to top. If difference in blade tip to ground measurementsis more than 15 mm (1/2 in), take washers from top of gauge wheel shaft and move to bottom as illustrated. Move equal numbers of washers for both left and right sides. Replace split pins.
