PROCEDURE FOR RAISING AND LOWERING THE DECK FOR SERVICING

RAISING THE DECK:

A.Remove cut height adjustment pin and completely lower the cut height adjustment lever. Re-insert the cut height adjustment pin into the 3-1/2" cut height position (this will lock the cut height adjustment lever into the lowest position.

B.Flip up the foot deck to allow access to the engine to deck drive blet. Roll the engine to deck drive belt off the center spindle. Hook the engine to deck drive belt onto the bolt protruding out of the top of the foot deck support angle.

C.Lift the rear corner of the deck and disconnect the rear deck mounting latch. Repeat for the other side.

D.Position the front caster sheels so they are away from the deck (such as the tractor would bve traveling in reverse).

E.Attached a hoist to the deck lift bolt. lift the nose of the deck until the deck is standing vertical and the deck latch engages.

IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE DECK IS LIFTED FAR ENOUGH FOR THE DECK LATCH TO FULLY ENGAGE THE LOCKING PIN (LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DECK MOUNTING SUSPENSION). THIS WILL PREVENT THE DECK FROM FALLING DOWN WHEN SERVICING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MOWER DECK.

LOWERING THE DECK:

A.While lifting the nose of the deck disengage the deck latch from the locking pin. Push the bottom of the deck towards the rear of the tractor while holding the deck latch so that it clears the locking pin. Lower the deck until it rests on the ground.

B.Lift the rear corner of the deck and reconnect the rear deck mounting latch. Repeat for the otherside.

C.Roll the engine to deck drive belt back onto the center spindle. Insure that the engine to deck drive belt is installed onto all of the pulleys and idlers in the drive train.

D.Lower the foot deck down into the operation position.
