lift assemblies to level the center deck
front-to-back. See Figure 3-11.
Tolerances for front-to-back is positive
1/8 inch in the rear -- the rear should
never be lower than the front edge.

adjustable. Hangers should have the
same tension on both sides before
adjusting the main turnbuckle. Adjust
the eyebolt until the tension is even on
both hangers, then snug down the jam
nut.

each side deck for levelness.

the urethane bushings are snug, but
not overly tight.
NOTE: Do not use these hangers for

the small turnbuckle. See Figures
3-11 and 3-12.
