4.Position upper end of links to center cutting deck brackets.
5.Align upper end of links with mounting holes in center deck. While installing pivot pins to center deck and links, insert spacers and washers as follows:
A.Place a hardened spacer (item 42) on each side of the front link. Use one or two thrust washers on rear side of assembly so that link is snug between deck brackets.
B.Place a thrust washer (item 6) on each side of rear link.
6.Secure pins with carriage screw and flange head screw.
7.Install cap screw (item 29) to pivot pin on both links. Cap screw on rear link uses a flat washer (item 28). Cap screw on front link also secures hose guide (item 38).
8.Position lift cylinder to the wing deck (Fig. 7). Secure cylinder with cap screw and lock nut.
9.Install hydraulic motor to cutting deck (see Cutting Deck Motor Installation in the Service and Repairs Sec- tion of Chapter 4
10.Fully raise wing deck, stop engine and remove key from the ignition switch. Secure flex shield to wing deck with shield strap and three (3) washer head screws. Lower wing deck.
11.Lower wing deck and inspect deck latch assembly to insure that front link is locked when the wing deck is in the lowered position. There should be a gap from 0.060” to 0.090” (1.5 to 2.2 mm) between the arm latch actuator and the latch pivot (Fig. 8). If gap is incorrect, adjust link position by repositioning the location of the hardened spacers (item 42) and thrust washers (item 6). At a mini- mum, there must be a hardened spacer positioned to the rear of the front link.
12.Lubricate grease fittings on cutting deck and lift com- ponents.
13.Check distance between inner deck blade on wing deck and outer deck blade on center deck. Distance be- tween blades should be 0.380” to 0.620” (9.7 to 15.7
mm)(Fig. 9). If blade distance is incorrect, loosen hex jam nut (item 32) on rear link assembly and adjust cap screw (item 31). Tighten jam nut when blade distance is correct.
14.Check operation of wing deck position switch. Adjust if necessary (see Wing Deck Position Switches in the Adjustments section of Chapter 5
15.Secure switch shield (item 50) to center deck.
