PROCEDURE FOR RAISING AND
LOWERING THE DECK FOR
SERVICING
14.
RAISING THE DECK:
A.
Remove cut height adjustment pin and
completely lower the cut height
adjustment lever. Re-insert the cut
height adjustment pin into the 3-1/2” cut
height position (this will lock the cut
height adjustment lever into the lowest
position).
B.
Flip up the foot deck to allow access to
the engine to deck drive belt. Roll the
engine to deck drive belt off the center
spindle. Hook the engine to deck drive
belt onto the bolt protruding out of the
top of the foot deck support angle.
C.
Lift the rear corner of the deck and
disconnect the rear deck mounting
latch. Repeat for the other side.
D.
Position the front caster wheels so they
are away from the deck (such as the
tractor would be traveling in reverse).
E.
Lift the nose of the deck until the deck
is standing vertical (lifting can be made
easier if someone stands on the rear
bumper of the tractor).
IMPORTANT
NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE
DECK IS LIFTED FAR ENOUGH FOR
THE DECK LATCH TO FULLY
ENGAGE THE LOCKING PIN
(located
on the left side of the deck mounting
suspension). This will prevent the deck
from falling down when servicing the
underside of the mower deck.
