5.Raise mower body (instead of lifting the front of deck) and clip the counterweight springs to the receptacle on front of body. Lower the body to tension the springs. (Refer to Deck Counter- weight Spring Installation photo.)

6.With the counterweight springs connected, the weight on the deck caster wheels should be 15 to 25 Ib (6.8 to 11.3 kg). Check this weight by lift- ing on the front of the deck carrier frame.
