Battery Service

Mower Deck Assembly

Deck Caster Wheels Installation

1.Remove the bolt, nut, axle spacer tube, and spacer washers from each deck caster wheel fork.

NOTE: Spacer washers are used only when the optional semi-pneumatic deck wheels (8.25 x 2.75) are installed.

2.Fit the axle spacer tube through the wheel hub, position the spacer washer on each side of the hub (if used), and fit the assembly into the wheel fork.

3.Insert the 3/8-16 x 4-1/2 in. bolt through the wheel fork with the bolt head to the outside and install the 3/8-16 in. Keps nut.

4.Tighten the bolt and nut until the axle spacer tube bottoms against the inside of the wheel fork (will not turn) while the wheel and spacer washers (if used) spin freely without binding.

Deck Caster Wheel Installation

Deck Discharge Shield Installation (Side Discharge Models Only)

Attach the deck side discharge shield by positioning the shield hinge lug in front of the deck mount and fastening with two 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 in. bolts, 3/8-16 ESNA nuts, and 3/8 in. wave spring washers. The wave washers fit between the two hinging surfaces. Tighten the nuts until the shield moves freely but is not loose.
