4. Balance the deck by using a wrench to turn the adjustment gear (found immediately behind the hex cap screw just loosened) clockwise/up or counterclockwise/down. The deck is properly balanced when both blade tip measurements taken earlier are equal. 5. Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved. Seat Adjustment Refer to the Set-Up and Assembly section of this manual for seat adjustment instructions. Parking Brake Adjustment WARNING: Never attempt to adjust the brakes while the engine is running. Always disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral position, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting. If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need of adjustment. See an authorized Troybilt Service Dealer to have your brakes properly adjusted.
