Installation Instructions
Important:
For Serial Numbers 313,000,000 and Higher,
multiple accessories added to a base unit can change the
stability of the machine. Read the unit operator’s manual
to determine if counterbalance weights are necessary for
the accessories installed on the unit.
1.
Make sure all moving parts have stopped, parking brake
is engaged, and the key has been removed.
2.
Raise the front of the machine and support with jack
stands.
CAUTION
Raising the mower deck for service or
maintenance relying solely on mechanical
or hydraulic jacks could be dangerous. The
mechanical or hydraulic jacks may not be
enough support or may malfunction allowing
the unit to fall, which could cause injury.
Do Not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks for support. Use adequate jack stands
or equivalent support.
