SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT

FRONT-TO-BACKADJUSTMENT(See Fig. 16).

IMPORTANT: DECK MUST BE LEVEL SIDE- TO-SIDE. IF THE FOLLOWING FRONT-TO- BACK ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY, BE SURE TO ADJUST BOTH FRONT OR BOTH REAR LINKAGES EQUALLY SO THE DECK WILL STAY LEVEL.

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