The rig was delivered yesterday and it has been raining ever since.:frown:
I checked things out in the garage and ran into adjustment limits on the deck height.
The deck hangs close to a half inch lower than the dial setting. I adjusted the 'stop bolts' to their end and got the right height. BUT, the deck lift mechanism would not release, holding it in the raised position. Backing off some on the stop bolts allowed the release catch to operate.
The end result is a dial setting that is off a bit and a deck that is level front to back; not with the back a 1/2" higher that is recommended.
This is disappointing. What seems to be well designed/built is off center in the adjustment range.
