Float springs 
 

The  2  rear  units  are  mounted  on  separate  floating  parallelogram  linkage.  
The  parallelogram  linkages  have  a  spring  incorporated  into  them  to  allow 
each unit to float to follow the contour of the bed.  When setting the cutting 
height, ensure that the spring is in the middle of its travel.
