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.
