CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE FOR RAISING AND LOWERING THE DECK FOR SERVICING:
A.Move cut height adjustment lever to lowest position.
B.Flip up the foot deck to allow access to the engine to deck drive belt. 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 remove 1/2” x
D.Position the front caster wheels so they are away from the deck (such as the tractor would be traveling in reverse).
E.Attach a hoist to the deck lift bolt. Lift the nose of the deck until the deck is standing vertical and the deck latch engages.
F.Reverse procedure for lowering deck.
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.
