Deck Lift Handle Force
Tighten or loosen the bolt to adjust the amount of
force it takes to move the deck lift handle.
Turning the bolt clockwise transfers some of the
deck weight from the lift handle to the helper spring
(see Figure 25). This makes the deck easier to lift;
however, it may allow the deck to float or become
bouncy which may cause an uneven cut.
