you may have to adjust the deck pitch. In the case of
uneven cut, you will have to level the deck. For both
adjustments, follow the steps below:
Place the deck in the engaged position.

that hold the hex bolt and the ferrule on the
deck hanger link assembly. See Figure 24. Do
not try to loosen or tighten the bottom nut.
• Loosen the second nut up or down as
necessary. See Figure 24.
• When desired adjustment is reached, retighten
the two nuts.
• Adjust both sides if necessary.
