CUTTING DECK REMOVAL

WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, move the PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position, engage the parking brake, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key from the

Several attachments are available for your tractor. To mount some of these attachments and in order to perform certain maintenance procedures, the deck must be removed from the tractor. To properly remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:

WARNING: Do NOT remove deck immediately after operating the tractor. Allow the engine and other moving parts ample time to cool down.

•Engage the parking brake.

•Move the PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position to relieve tension on the belt.

•Lower the deck by moving the lift lever into the bottom notch on the right fender.

•Remove the PTO belt from around the lower portion of the engine pulley and from around both PTO idler pulleys on the PTO engagement plate.

•Pull the deck support pin outward to release the deck from the deck lift arm. See Figure 13.

•Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor and release the pin into the hole provided.

•Repeat the above steps on the left side of the tractor.

•Move the lift lever into the top notch on the right fender to raise the deck lift arms out of the way.

•Carefully move the cutting deck toward the front of the tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release themselves from the deck stabilizer rod. Do NOT let the deck fall to the ground.

•Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) out from underneath the tractor.
