This demonstration guide answers one field question about front-to-back and side-to-side specifications. Measurements come before parts, and the notes are not a generic equipment FAQ.
Diagnose before replacing parts
Start with blade-tip height at four documented points. That reading separates front-to-back and side-to-side specifications from adjacent faults that share the same complaint.
If the measurement is out of spec, treat the hanger hardware as the primary path. If it is in spec, do not replace the hanger hardware just to complete a parts list.
Repair the failed system
The usual correction is the hanger hardware, installed to the documented spec for this complaint.
A demonstration shop records the finding so the next technician is not repeating a guess about front-to-back and side-to-side specifications.
Stop before you make it worse
Do not leveling on a slope because the driveway is convenient. That shortcut hides the original measurement and creates a second failure.
If the machine still fails after the hanger hardware is corrected, convert the visit to a broader diagnosis rather than stacking parts.
