Installing the Cutter Deck
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover,
or complete grass catcher assembly mounted
in place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris. Contact with the
rotating cutter deck blade(s) and thrown debris
will cause injury or death.
•
Never remove the grass deflector from the
cutter deck because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
•
Never put your hands or feet under the
cutter deck.
•
Never try to clear the discharge area or
cutter deck blades unless you move the
power take off (PTO) to Off and rotate the
ignition key to Off. Also remove the key and
pull the wire off the spark plug(s).
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the blade control (PTO).
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove the key before leaving the operating position.
5. Turn the front wheels fully to the left. Slide the
cutter deck under the chassis from the right side.
6. Install the cutter deck belt onto the lower engine
pulley (Figure 53).
7. Install the cutter deck pivot mount brackets onto the
front axle with the bolts and locknuts (Figure 54).
