Deck Installation
1. Lightly grease each deck support arm (2) on the
tractor. Refer to Mower Deck Installation pho-
to on next page for location of deck support arm.
2. Engage the deck carrier frame tube sockets on
the tractor support arms (refer to Discharge

model.
NOTE: When installing the DSD52 or DSD62
Mower deck, make sure to retract the dolly
wheel after mounting the deck on the tractor.

aligned and connected to the blower inlet dur-
ing the last 2 in. (51 mm) of slide action on the
support arms.
NOTE: Raising the mower body may be help-
ful in fitting and guiding the deck chute into the
blower.

of each support arm to lock the deck in place
(refer to Deck Counterweight Spring Installa-
tion photo). Two (2) hitch pins are included in
the owner’s packet of materials.
