Blade Plane Inspection and Adjustment
If a solid object is struck by the cutting deck, the blade
plane of the deck should be inspected.
6. Determine if one or both (RH and LH) height--of--cut
brackets need to be adjusted. If the 3 or 9 o’clock side
is .150 + .090 inch (3.8 + 2.3 mm) higher than the new
front height, then no adjustment is needed for that side.
Adjust other side (if needed) to within + .090 inch (+ 2.3
mm) of correct side.
