Leaving a mower running and
unattended can be fatal or
cause serious injury.
To prevent injury, lower the mower deck to the
ground, disengage all drives, engage parking
brake and stop engine before making any
adjustments.
1.
Park the Power Unit on a flat level surface.
2.
Ensure the tires are properly inflated. See Section
3.1
3.
Attach two deck arms to cutter deck with two 5/8 x
1-3/4” clevis pins and secure with cotter pins. Slide
the cutter deck beneath the Power Unit.
4.
Support the deck at the four corners with support
blocks. Place the 5-1/16” (128.58 mm) blocks in
front and the 4-7/8” (123.82 mm) blocks in rear.
5.
Retract the Linear Actuator to its UP position.
6.
Attach the deck arms to power unit using two 5/8 x
3-1/2” clevis pins and secure with cotter pins.
7.
Attach the rear lift chains to the deck as shown.
Tighten until the nut makes contact with the bracket.
8.
Attach the front lift chains to the deck as shown.
Position the first tooth of the sprocket in the seventh
link of the chain and tighten the nut until it makes
contact with the bracket.
9.
Adjust the height of cut bracket so the height of cut
indicator corresponds with actual height of cut when
the floor pan is lowered.
10. Secure with the lockwasher and jam nut.
11. Remove the support blocks and verify the height of
cut.
IMPORTANT:
If incorrectly mounted or adjusted so the deck
bottoms against the frame, the lift shafts will be
damaged.
