7. Check the front-to-rear slope again. If the front
of the mower is more than 5/8" (15.875 mm)
lower than the rear of the mower, proceed to
step 8 for adjusting instructions. Otherwise,
recheck the side-to-side level to assure it did not
change.
8. Raise or lower the front of the mower by
adjusting the length of the long rod and
reinstalling it in the mower mount with the
washer and hair pin cotter (Fig. 52). Adjust one
side, then the other. After adjusting both rods,
check the front-to-rear slope again. Continue to
adjust the rods one turn at a time until the front
of the mower is 1/8" to 3/8" (3.175 mm to
9.525 mm) lower than the rear of the mower.
Note: To raise the front of the mower,
lengthen the rod by turning it
counterclockwise. To lower the front of
the mower, shorten the rod by turning
it clockwise.
9. Measure the length of both rods extending out
the front of the adjusting blocks on both sides of
the chassis. If the rod lengths are not the same,
remove the hair pin cotter and washer from the
end of the loose rod and adjust it until both rods
extend out the same length.
