Mower deck Leveling SSZ mower deck

[jfish]

New to sight. I bought a used Scag SSZ 52 and deck is not level. When I lower it the deck's rear roller hits the ground when lowered to the second setting from the top. The front rollers never touch the ground. I can't tell if the deck is installed improperly or the deck hasn't been adjusted right. Having trouble locating a repair manual (operator manuals send you to the dealer for these things). Can anyone tell me where to find manual or can you give me any insights as to the leveling procedures.
TIA

the threaded rod connecting front lift to back lift sounds like it needs adjustment on both sides of deck. check your tire pressures then adj jam nuts accordingly

I looked at the SSZ operators manuals and saw that there is no deck adjustment section. Other model Scag manuals have a deck adjustment section and I recommend that you go to the Scag web site and on the left side of the home page click on manuals, find the parts manual for your model and serial number and compare it to other models for similarity and a deck adjustment section and go from there.
