Attaching The Cutting Deck (Model Y809P)
Figure 3
WARNING: Before attaching the cutting deck, engage the parking brake, turn the ignition key to the
OFF position and remove the key from the switch to avoid accidental starting.
• Raise the deck lift arms up and out of the way by placing the lift lever in the top notch on the right fender.
• Gently slide the cutting deck beneath the tractor from the right side.
• Move the cutting deck into position so that the hooks found on the front end of the deck fit snugly around the
deck stabilizer rod as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE: The stabilizer rod may be secured to the tractor frame with a plastic cable tie for shipping reasons. If so, cut
the cable tie before mounting the front of the cutting deck.
• Lower the deck lift arms by placing the lift lever in the bottom notch on the right fender.
• Raise the left side of the cutting deck by grasping the deck skid rod and lifting upward. Pull the deck support
pin (on the left side of the deck) outward and align it with the hole on the rear of the left deck lift arm before
releasing the pin to lock it in place as shown in Figure 3. Repeat on the right side.
• Route the PTO belt around the electric PTO clutch as shown in Figure 3.
• Grasp the PTO idler pulley bracket and pull it towards the discharge chute, then route the belt around the
PTO idler pulley as shown in Figure 3.
IMPORTANT:
Be certain that the FLAT side of the PTO belt is the side coming in contact with the PTO idler pulley.
• If not already attached, hook the idler spring to the stud found on the left side of the tractor frame.
IMPORTANT:
After mounting the cutting deck, refer to Leveling the Deck in the ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual.
Perform any adjustments, if necessary, prior to operating the tractor
