PROCEDURE FOR RAISING AND
LOWERING THE DECK FOR
SERVICING
12. RAISING THE DECK:
A. Remove cut height adjustment pin and
completely lower the cut height adjustment
lever. Re-insert the cut height adjustment
pin into the 3-1/2° cut height position (this
will lock the cut height adjustment lever into
the 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
disconnect the rear deck mounting
latch. Repeat for the other side.
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.
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.
13. LOWERING THE DECK:
A. While lifting the nose of the deck disengage the
deck latch from the locking pin. Push
the bottom of the deck towards the rear of the
tractor while holding the deck latch so that it
clears the locking pin. Lower the deck until it
rest on the ground.
-B. Lift the rear comer of the deck and re -
connect the rear deck mounting latch.
Repeat for the other side.
C. Roll the engine to deck drive belt back onto the
center spindle. Insure that the engine to deck
drive belt is installed onto all of the pullies and
idlers in the drive train.
D. Lower the foot deck down into the operation
position.
