deck) and clip the counterweight springs to the re-
ceptacle on front of body. Lower the body to ten-
sion the springs. (Refer to Deck Counterweight

25 Ib (6.8 to 11.3 kg). Check this weight by lifting
on the front of the deck carrier frame. If required,
the spring tension can be adjusted by tightening or
loosening the elastic stop nuts located underneath
the lower spring hook. Refer to Deck Counter-
