Front-to-back adjustment
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 ¼" (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.

Distances B
1. | Check blade height with blade facing front to rear. |
|

|
| 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 | |
| Rear lift linkage | |
| 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. |
