straight forward. Measure distance "B" at

ments, check that both front links are
equal in length.

one link to same length as other link.
• To lower front of blade, loosen nut "C"
on both front links an equal number of
turns.
NOTE: Each full turn of nut "C" will
change dim. "B" by approximately 3/16".

at front than rear, tighten nut "D"
against trunnion on both front links.
