FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 37 & 38)
IMPORTANT: Deck must be level side-to-side.
To obtain the best cutting re sults, the mower blades should 
be adjusted so the front tip is 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the 
rear tip when the mower is in its highest position.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect 
your hands with gloves and/or wrap 
blade with heavy cloth.
•  Raise mower to highest position.
• 
Position any blade so the tip is pointing straight forward. 
Measure distance (B) to the ground at front and rear 
tip of the blade.
TO LEVEL MOWER
Make sure tires are properly inflated to the PSI shown on 
tires. If tires are over or under inflated, it may affect the 
appearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower 
is not adjusted properly.
VISUAL SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 35)
• 
With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears 
unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting 
lower.
NOTE: As desired, you can raise the low side of mower 
or lower the high side.
•  Go to side of mower you wish to adjust.
•  With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjust-
ment nut (A) to the left to lower the mower, or, to the 
right to raise the mower.
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower 
height about 3/16".
•  Test your adjustment by mowing some uncut grass 
and visually checking the appearance. Readjust, if 
necessary, until you are satisfied with the results.
