Operating the Zero Turn Rider
Installing the Mower Deck
NOTE: Perform mower installation on a hard, level sur-
face such as a concrete floor.
1. Slide the mower under the tractor.
2. Install the bar mount pins (C, Figure 12) to secure
the pusher bars (A, Figure 12) to the mower.
3. Place two, 2” x 4” blocks (B, Figure 10) under the
outside edges of the mower.
4. Install the roller position link (D, Figure 12) to the
pusher bar.
5. From the front of the machine, push back on the
deck lift pedal until it stops. Reinstall the height
adjustment pin in any hole to prevent the pedal from
pivoting forward.
5. Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin and remove
the deck lift foot pedal.
7. Lift the floor plate to gain access to the deck drive
belt.
8. Secure the chains to the lift arms (B, Figure 12).
9. Install the drive belt on the PTO pulley, the arbor pul-
ley and V-sided idler pulley. Release the spring ten-
sion on the idler pulley (A, Figure 11) and install the
belt onto the pulley. Make sure the V-side of the belt
runs in the pulley grooves (Figure 13).
NOTE: Releasing the belt tension may loosen the hard
ware fastening the idler pulley to the idler arm. Make
sure to re-tighten the hardware if this occurs.
10. Remove the 2” x 4” blocks from under the mower.
11. Lower the floor plate and reinstall the deck lift foot
pedal with the hairpin clip and clevis pin.
WARNING
Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, stop
engine and remove key before attempting to
install or remove the mower.
