A. Remove cut height adjustment pin and completely
lower the cut height adjustment lever. Re-insert
the cut height adjustment pin into the 3-
1/2
” cut
height position (this will lock the cut height
adjustment lever into the lowest position).
B. Flip up the foot deck to allow access to the engine
to deck drive belt. Roll the engine to deck drive
belt off the center spindle. Hook the engine to
deck drive belt onto the bolt protruding out of the
top of the foot deck support angle.
C. Lift the rear corner of the deck and disconnect
the rear deck mounting latch. Repeat for the
other side.
D. Position the front caster wheels so they are
away from the deck (such as the tractor would
be traveling in reverse).
E. Attach a hoist to the deck lift bolt. Lift the nose of
the deck until the deck is standing vertical and
the deck latch engages.
F. Reverse procedure for lowering deck.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the deck is lifted
far enough for the deck latch to fully engage the locking
pin (located on the left side of the deck mounting
suspension). This will prevent the deck from falling
down when servicing the underside of the mower deck.
