Checking and Adjusting the Blade Level Models with Single Height of Cut Adjustment Lever A typical model with a single height of cut adjustment lever is shown below (Figure 25). Adjusting Side-to-Side Level Loosen the engine mounting screws on the side where the blade is low (Figure 27). Temporarily insert a washer between the engine and mower housing and re-measure the blade. If it is now level, remove the engine mounting screw and re-install through the housing, washer, and engine. Check the level after the bolts are tight. Figure 25 2001-046.TIF Wheel Does Not Touch Ground This may indicate that either the front or rear axle is bent. This can be resolved by identifying and replacing the bent axle. An alternate fix would be to shim the affected axle. Turn the machine over. The front axle is attached to the mower with a bracket on each side. In this case, go to the side where the front wheel does not touch the ground. Remove the cap screws that secure the bracket to the mower housing. Insert the shim between the cap and housing and install the cap screws (Figure 26). Figure 27 MVC-720X.JPG Adjusting Front-to-Rear Pitch Changes in front-to-rear pitch occur only if the front-to-rear link is bent (Figure 28) or the connections on the ends are worn. If the connections at the ends of the link are worn, replace them. If the pitch is still dramatically out of specification, the front-to-rear link or one of the axles is bent. Replace the damaged parts. Figure 26 p2260004.JPG Service Dealer's Guide to Great Quality of Cut Figure 28 mvc-408x.jpg 4 - 7
