SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
•  If adjustment is necessary, see step in Visual Adjust-
ment instructions above.

Recheck measurements, adjust if necessary until both 
sides are equal.
FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 28 & 29)
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 3/8" lower than the 
rear tip when the mower is in its highest position.
CAUTION: Blade is sharp. Protect your 
hands with gloves and/or wrap blade 
with heavy cloth.

•  Position 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. 26)

ment nut (A) to the left to lower LH side of mower, or, 
to the right to raise LH side of 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.
