The Rear Discharge Deck is used in conjunction with the PGC. It ejects grass rearwards after cutting for the Powered Grass Collector to collect. Either the Mulch Deck or the Rear Discharge Deck can be fitted to the C Series using the following instructions.

IMPORTANT

When replacing the Cutter Deck, Re-tension the belt with the lever under the running board BEFORE attempting to use your tractor.

TO CLEAN THE CUTTER DECK

Remove the deck as instructed, stand it on its side and hose off accumulated cuttings. This may be necessary routinely to prevent build up of cuttings, particularly at the beginning of the season when the grass is lush and wet. Thoroughly wash the underside of the Cutter Deck as regularly as possible.

ENGINE TO CUTTER DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT

To replace the Engine to Cutter Drive Belt, follow this sequence:

1.Pull the Belt Tension Lever forward to detension (fig 13).

2.Lower the Cutter Deck to the lowest position (page 5).

3.Remove the belt from the Forward Electric Clutch Pulley

– it will slip off.

4.Remove the Cover of the Cutter Deck Pulley Housing – loosen and remove the 1/4" UNF nut and bolt using two 7/16" spanner/sockets – then slide (tap) the cover off.

5.Remove the belt from the Cutter Deck Pulley – you may have to ease it off by rotating the pulley.

6.Now replace the CORRECT BELT (see decal mounted on Cutter Deck), by reversing this procedure, taking care to fit the belt into the ‘V’ grooves.

7.Pull back the Belt Tension Lever so the Belt is tensioned. Now check and adjust belt tension as detailed on page 11.
