MOWER DECK INSTALLATION
Page 9
1. To remove front body from chassis, disconnect headlights and remove acorn nut
in middle of body.
2. Install rear hanger rods on lift frame, as shown in the diagram. Slide lift
plate on hanger rods, small holes in lift plate will face rear of mower,
install bushings and start nylok nuts on each hanger rod until approximately
1/4 inch of threads are exposed.
3. Position mower deck under chassis.
4. Place lift lever in 3rd hole from highest cut, position #5 on quadrant.
5. Using (1) of the deck support rods, insert the rod at the corner of the lift
frame and the front of the mower chassis in the groove provided on the lift
frame. Pry backwards on the lift frame enough to connect the brake link into
the hole on the tab of the lift lever. This will allow for belt installation
in step #7.
6. Raise mower deck at the rear and slide (1) of the deck support rods through
the mower deck lift plate and the tabs of the mower deck. "Note" A length of
2x4 board turned on end and placed under the mower deck for support will
make this task easier if the installation is being done by one person, due to
the weight of the mower deck.
7. Raise front of mower deck and slide front support rod through lift frame and
tabs on mower deck. Install hair pin clips on front and rear support rods.
8. Move lift lever to lowest cut position, install engine to mower deck drive
belt on top center pulley. Check belt routing after installation to make
certain that belt is centered in groove of electric clutch pulley.
9. Move lift lever toward high cut position and remove brake link from hole
on lift lever.
10. Install deflector chute on mower deck by using nuts and bolts
provided. Never operate mower without deflector chute in place.
