Place thread locking compound on the threads and
install the hardened washers and top lock nuts on
the rods extending through the bottom of the deck.
Torque these rods to 230 Ft-Lbs. See FIGURE
Mnt-B-0021.
Measure the distance that the rods extend through
the top mount plate, this needs to be 7/8" to 15/16".
To get this height adjust the two jam nuts to the
buck plate. Once the required distance is achieved
place thread locking compound on the threads and
lock the two nuts together. See FIGURE Mnt-B-
0021.
Check to make sure the flat washer is not
contacting the bottom of the mount plate. There
should be a 1/4" gap between the flat washer and
the mount plate. See FIGURE Mnt-B-0022.
Place thread locking compound on the threads and
install the hardened flat washers and top lock nuts.

increments and following the positions 1 thru 4.
Recheck torque values after reaching the final
positions. See FIGURE Mnt-B-0023.
Place thread locking compound on the threads and
run the hardened flat washers and jam nuts up tight
against the bottom of the mount plate. Lock jam
