Replacing Rear Flap

Replacing Rear Flap

The rear flap is attached to the back of the mower deck, and is designed to minimize the possibility of objects being thrown from the rear of the mower towards the operator. If the rear flap is damaged, replace as follows.

To remove the old rear flap, compress the hinge clips and remove the flap from the slot in rear of the deck. See Figure 19.

To attach the new rear flap, place new hinge clips in the slots on the flap. Then compress the spring clips and reinsert flap in slots in rear of deck. See Figure 19.

Remove the front drive cover from the unit by lightly pressing inward on the sides of the front drive cover. This will release the tabs that secure the front drive cover to the height adjuster brackets.

Remove the idler and hardware from the idler bracket using 7/16” wrench and socket.
