The mower deck can now be raised to the TRANSPORT
position without the deck lift lock lever engaging.
2. Move the deck lift lock lever away from the operating
position, and rotate the deck lift lever lockout plate (B)
to the LOCK (C) position (facing towards the rear of the
machine) and allow the deck lift lever to return to its
natural position. The mower deck can now be raised to
the TRANSPORT position and the deck lift lock lever will
lock it in place.
Suspension Adjustment
The shock assembly can be adjusted to vary the amount of
pre-load applied to the springs. This allows the operator to
maintain the ride height.
Use less pre-load for light weight operators. Use more pre-
load for heavy weight operators.
To adjust the spring pre-load:
1. Park the unit on a flat, level surface such as a concrete
floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn
the ignition switch to OFF, and remove the ignition key.
WARNING
Use two hands when adjusting the shock springs. This will
prevent the wrench from slipping while pressure is being
applied.

2. See Figure 41. Using the supplied spanner wrench (p/
n 5022853), insert the tip of the wrench into the notch
in the pre-load adjuster. While holding the wrench with
both hands, turn clockwise to decrease the pre-load, turn
counter-clockwise to increase the pre-load. Make sure
that for each pair of shocks (A, B or C, Figure 41) that the
left-hand and right-hand are set to the same amount of
pre-load.
Note: Spanner wrench is located under the seat. Rear tires
must be removed to adjust the rear suspension.
Fuse Location and Identification
The electrical system for this unit is equipped with two (2)
fuse boxes that contain several fuses and relays. The fuse
boxes can be accessed by releasing the seat latch and
