1. Check the flange bushings in the carrier frame for wear or damage ( Figure
207 ).
Note: Replace the flange bushings if necessary.
2. Install the lift arm components as shown in Figure 204 and Figure 206 .
A. If the ball joints were removed from the link (item 4 in Figure 204 ), install
the ball joints equally on both ends of the link. Adjust the center-to-center
length of the link assembly to 45.9 to 46.1 cm (18.070 to 18.180 inches).
Tighten the jam nuts to secure the ball joints to the link (
Figure 208 ).
Note: Ensure that the ball joints stay in-line when you tighten the jam
nuts.
Note: Do not change the link assembly length to adjust the height-of-cut
or for any other reason.
Note: When properly installed, the flange nuts (item 9 in Figure 204 )
should have the flange surface against the lift arm and not against the
chain.
B. If the bolt (item 10 in Figure 204 ) was removed from the deck lift chain,
insert the bolt into the upper link of chain and thread the flange nut onto
the bolt with the flange away from the link; torque the flange nut to
67
N∙m (50 ft-lb) . When you fasten the chain to the front lift arm; torque the
second flange nut to 67 N∙m (50 ft-lb) . When you install the chain to the
rear lift arm; torque the bolts to 67 N∙m (50 ft-lb) .
3. Lubricate all the lift arm grease fittings after assembly.
4. Start the engine and fully raise the cutting deck. Shut off the engine and
remove the key from the key switch.
