5.6.8 Step 1. Lower Deck… While holding the lift handle, push the rear of the deck rearward towards
the drive tires, lower deck until it rests on the ground surface.
5.6.9 Step 2. Un-Lock Deck from Lowest Position… Push the Cut Height Adjust Lever to the most
rearward position and remove the Cut Height Pin in the Cut Height Selector plate. (Note: This
takes a fair amount of effort.)
5.6.10 Step 3. Raise Deck… Raise the deck up to the transport position and lock in place with the
transport latch. Make sure both Deck Hooks re-connect to the Deck Pins.
5.6.11 Step 4. Reconnect Deck Drive Belt… Re-install deck drive belt to the Electric Clutch Pulley. Check
to make sure the belt routing is not impeded by the frame, transaxles, or other mower
components. Additionally, ensure the belt is properly installed on all the deck pulleys and idlers.
Slowly rotate Deck Belt Tension Lever and re-apply the spring tension to the belt.
5.6.12 Step 6. Cut Height Pin… Re-insert the Cut Height Pin to the desired cut height.
5.6.13 Step 5. Lower Foot Step… Pivot the Front Step back down for use.
5.6.14 Step 7. Lower Deck to Cut Height… Lower deck to desired cut height and position.
Manually lifting the deck can be very strenuous. Use proper lifting techniques, lift with hips and
knees (not your back). Adding a counter balance at the rear of the mower can reduce the
effort. Keep bystanders clear of the area.
Warning
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, KEEP HANDS, FEET, AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM
LIFT MECHANISM, DECK, AND REAR OF TRACTOR DURING LIFT TO AND FROM SERVICING
POSITION.
