The front of the deck should be between 1/4-inch and
3/8-inch lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if
necessary as follows:
•
With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface,
place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest
position) and rotate the blade nearest the discharge
chute so that it is parallel with the tractor.
•
Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip
to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the
ground.
•
The first measurement taken should be between
1/4" and 3/8" less than the second measurement.
•
Determine the approximate distance necessary for
proper adjustment and proceed, if necessary, to the
next step.
