MOWER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
NOTE: Perform mower installation on a hard, level sur-
face such as a concrete floor. For easier mower removal
and installation, rear trailing arms (F, Figure 7) can be
removed by removing spring clips and clevis pins.
1. Park rider and turn off PTO switch and engine,
remove the key and apply parking brake. Turn the
wheels fully to the left.
2. On left-hand side of 34” mower, push idler pulley arm
(A, Figure 7) to relieve belt tension.
On right-hand side of 30” mower, pull idler pulley arm
to relieve belt tension.
3. With belt tension relieved, remove belt from idler pul-
ley (B, Figure 7) and PTO pulley (C). Removing belt
relieves tension on the front hitch assembly.
4. With lift lever down and Dial-A-Cut
TM
control set to
the lowest setting, remove lift cable (D, Figure 7) from
mower hook (see inset illustration, Figure 7).
NOTE: Pull back slightly on the lift lever to allow easier
turning of the Dial-A-Cut
TM
control.
