1/4” lower than the front.  If the rear blade tip is 
higher or is more than 1/4” lower than the front, 
proceed with adjustment.

2.  Turn each hanger pivot the same number of 
rotations on the eye-bolt to raise or lower the 
rear of the deck.  See Figure 4.11.

blade tips again. 
4. Repeat steps “a” through “c” until proper 
levelness is obtained.
