5. Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level if
you have not checked the setting; refer to Deck
Leveling.

position. Place two “B” thick blocks (see Block
Height and Rake Table in Deck Leveling) under
the rear edge of the cutting deck skirt; one on
each side of the cutting deck. Place two “A” thick
blocks (see Block Height and Rake Table in Deck
Leveling) under each side of the front edge of the
deck, but not under the anti-scalp roller brackets.
7. Loosen the leveling adjust locking nuts (item 1
Figure 26) on all four corners so that the deck is
sitting securely on all four blocks. Make sure that
the slack is removed from the deck hangers and
the deck lift foot lever is pushed back against the
stop, then tighten the four leveling adjust locking
nuts.

blade tip is not “R” (see Block Height and Rake
Table in Deck Leveling) lower than the rear
blade tip, adjust the front deck hanger.
