<--LEVELING THE DECK
With unit on hard, level surface, measure the distance from the bottom edge of the center of the left side of deck to the ground. Measure the same distance on the center of the right side of the deck, just behind the chute area. Or, place the blades in a straight line, and measure the distance from the outside edge of the blade tips to the ground.
If adjustment is needed, proceed as follows.
1.Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the bottom of the adjustable lift link on the left side of the deck. (Hairpin clip and flat washer are on the inside of the lift link.)
2.Pull the adjustable lift link out of the deck hanger channel. See figure 4. Turn the adjustable lift link up or down as necessary to level the deck. Usually only one or two turns are needed.
3.Insert the end of the adjustable lift link into the hole in the deck hanger channel. Recheck the adjustment. Readjust if necessary.
4.When deck is level, secure end of adjustable lift link with flat washer and hairpin clip.
