BX-23 60\" MMM questions

I have a question regarding the 60" MMM. The manual I have shows the part number as RCK60B-22BX, although, since I had to request this manual after receipt of the BX-23, I'm not 100% sure I got the right manual. I haven't looked at the actual part number on the mower itself. and the manual I have seems reasonably close to what I have.

1st question - I spent quite a bit of time trying to adjust the mower so that, when lowered, it is reasonably level. When raised, however, it is about 2 or three inches lower on the left hand side than on the right hand side. Is this normal, or have I messed up the adjustment?

2nd question - on page 5 of the mower manual, on the bottom half of the page in a diagram labeled G-5616A, it shows a flat piece of metal, roughly 3' long, 1 or 2 inches wide, attached to the bottom of the leading edge of the mower. Apart from collecting a mess of grass when mowing a damp lawn, what purpose does this serve?

Thanks in advance

You have the right manual. That piece might be there to keep the grass from blowing out there.

If this is a new tractor and mower deck, as I suspect...get the dealer to do the initial setup. They do it more often than you and I and will get it right a lot quicker. Once it's adjusted, it doesn't have to be revisited unless you really whack something very, very, very hard with the deck. (Not recommended...<G>)
