three inch setting. See Figure 7.
2. Rotate the cutting blades until the outer blades
are parallel with the frame of the unit.

4. Measure the distance from the rear of the cutting
blade to the ground and record it._____
NOTE: The front blade measurement should be
1/8” to 1/4" lower than the back blade measure-
ment. If not, continue performing the following
steps:
5. Mark both front hex jam nuts securing the front
lift ferrules in position. See Figure 9.
6. Loosen the front hex jam nuts equally one rota-
tion at a time.
7. Rotate the inner jam nuts (up against the front lift
ferrules) equally clockwise or counter-clockwise
to raise or lower the rear of the deck to the cor-
rect specifications.
NOTE: Tightening both inner jam nuts lowers the
rear of the deck, and loosening both inner jam
nuts raises the rear of the deck.
8. Secure the front lift ferrules in position with the
front jam nuts using a 15/16” wrench.
9. Raise and lower the deck several times and
make certain the measurements are correct.
