Shimming the Hanger Shafts

Once it has been determined that a shim (P/N 20928) is required, you first must determine which rear hanger shaft requires the shim.

The shim (A, Figure 20) must be placed in between the spacer (B, Figure 20) and the retaining collar (C, Figure

20)on the OPPOSITE side from which the front shaft has movement or slack (see Figure 21).

Once the shim has been assembled in the proper loca- tion, repeat Step 2 - 8 in the DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT section. This adjustment may need to be repeated more than once until the proper number of shims has been installed to obtain the proper cutting height, equal measurements from side to side and no movement of the front hanger shafts.
