lift stop bracket while raising the
rearward end of the lift link to align
its slot with the notch of the LH lift
rod (See Figures 37A and 37B).
Swing the LH lift rod forward until

gauge wheel settings on the deck.
If necessary, remove the hex cap
screws and nylon lock nuts, and
adjust the wheels to their highest
