MAINTENANCE
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.
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.
