Adjusting the Deck-Lift
Spring
Note:
Adjusting the compression spring alters how
much the deck floats and the amount of effort needed
to lift the deck when using the height-of-cut lever.
•
More spring extension reduces the lever lift force
required and causes the deck to float more.
•
Less spring extension increases the lever lift force
required and causes the deck to float less.
1.
Raise the height-of-cut lever and lock it into the
transport position.
2.
Verify that the distance between the spring nut
and the rear side of the welded mount bracket
is 41 mm (1-5/8 inch).
3.
If needed, adjust the distance by adjusting the
bolt on the front of the mount bracket.
