When the carrier frame hinge joint is properly adjust- ed, the deck lock levers should move in and out of the engaged and disengaged positions freely. All four hitch pins used for height adjustment should sit flush on the washers above the deck pin bushing. On a level surface, if any pin is sticking up (likely the front pins), tighten the opposite side or loosen the existing side to lower the pin. Adjustments are made by loosening the jam nut and tightening or loosening the set screws on the Deck Mount Pivot Brackets. Retighten the jam nut when the adjustment is com- plete.
