ter deck, use the center turnbuckle on
the deck lift assemblies to level the
deck front-to-back. Tolerances for
front-to-back is positive 1/8 inch in the
rear -- the rear should never be lower
than the front edge. Be sure to
retighten the jam nuts on the turn-
buckle after leveling the deck.

On the 73in deck, the rear deck
hangers are also adjustable. Hangers
should have the same tension on both
sides before adjusting the main turn-
buckle. Adjust the eyebolt until the ten-
sion is even on both hangers, then
snug down the jam nut.

to be on the ground constantly or it will
result in premature wear. Be sure to
