NOTE: If there are any indications of damage to the mower

deck, blades or blade spindles, measure the blade tips at A and

B, then rotate the blades 180 degrees and measure the oppo

site blade tip ends. If the measurements vary more than 1/8"

on any blade, see yourAriens dealer for service. If the variation

is not excessive, level the mower using the lowest measurement

from blade tip to ground at A and B.

6. Tighten roller assembly mounting bolts securely.

7. Rotate the blades until they are perpendicular to the roller

assembly as shown in Figure 40.

8. Measure distances A (from both outboard tips to the

floor). Then measure distance B. The front blade tip

(distance B) should be 1/8" less than the rear blade tip

(distance A). Loosen both front support mounting bolts

C and pivot front of mower "up" or "down" until the

front blade tip B is 1/8" closer to the floor than the rear

blade tips A.

CUTTING HEIGHT

The cutting height is adjustable to any of six different

positions by moving the cutting height adjustment lever shown

in'* Figure 37. Raise the lever to decrease cutting height.

Lower the lever to increase cutting height.

MOWER DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT

Constant tension is maintained on the drive belt by a spring-

loaded idler. Therefore, belt adjustment is not required.

Figure 41 shows the correct belt rotating (with shield re

moved) in case it ever becomes necessary to replace a worn or

damaged belt.

MOWER BLADE CARE

Blades should be kept sharp and tightly mounted at all

times. They can be sharpened on the mower with a file or re

moved and sharpened on a grinding wheel.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS FOLLOW THE ORIGINAL

CUTTING EDGE BEVEL WHEN SHARPENING THE

BLADES AND SHARPEN BOTH ENDS EVENLY TO

MAINTAIN PROPER BALANCE!

Special "cupped" washers help protect the mower by

allowing the blade to slip on the spindles if a solid object is

struck.

NOTE: WHEN REPLACING A BLADE, ALWAYS INSTALL

THE SPECIAL "CUPPED" WASHER WITH THE CON

CAVE SIDE FACING THE BLADE AND TIGHTEN THE

BLADE MOUNTING BOL TS TO 50-60 FT-LBS TOROUE.
