Installing the Lawn Deck
BEFORE INSTALLING THE LAWN DECK, BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE.
Your Lawn Deck shipped with the Belt in place on the two Blade Drive Pulleys. However, occasionally the
Belt comes off during shipping. If this occurs, remove the two smaller Belt Covers with a 7/16" Wrench or
Socket and place the Belt back on the Pulleys as shown in
Figure 7. See To Replace the Deck Belt on page
30.
1. Remove the black rectangular Belt Cover. Remove the two smaller black Covers if necessary.
2. With the help of another person to steady the machine, line up the Lawn Deck with the Attachment
Pin and slide the Lawn Deck onto the Pin (Figure 6).
3. Attach the Collar and insert the Retaining Pin (Figure 6).
4. Mount the Belt on the Engine Pulley. If necessary, place the Belt around the other Pulleys as shown
in Figure 7 except for the Pulley attached to the Belt Release Lever.
5. Push the Belt Release Lever and set the outside of the Belt against the flat Idler Pulley on the Release
Lever (Figure 7).
Tip: Some people push the Lever with their foot.
6. Replace the Belt Covers.
