8. CUTTING DECK REMOVAL: COMMENCING
WITH LATE 2005 PRODUCTION
NOTE: Decks having U-shaped front lift rods
were used on all Z-Wings produced after Nov. 1,
2005 (S/N: 0K015Z00001). These decks are ret-
rofittable to earlier production. Earlier decks are
easily identified by V-shaped front lift rods that
connect to the deck at a single point.
8.1. Remove the PTO belt as described in the PTO
Belt section of this manual, including all precau-
tions.
8.2. Trap the deck lift in the lowest position using the
clevis pin so that the cutting deck rests on the
ground or a purpose-built cart, and the lift handle
does not imitate a catapult when the weight of
the deck is removed from the lift assist springs.
See Figure 8.2.

8.3. Remove the wing lift shield using a 9/16”
wrench. See Figure 8.3.
8.4. Block all four hinge locks into the unlatched posi-
tion using extra wrenches. See Figure 8.4.
NOTE: Wrenches are handy to insert, easy to
spot, and unlikely to be forgotten.
8.5. Slide the rubber boot back from the cable end,
and remove the end jam nut on the cable using a
pair of 1/2” wrenches.
