REMOVING THE CUTTING DECK
See Figures 17 - 19.
If desired, the cutting deck can be removed from the mower
to make accessing the blades easier when changing.
WARNING:
Wear heavy gloves at all times while handling the cutting
deck. Keep hands and fingers clear of pinch points.
 Move the mower to a level surface. Make sure control
arms are in the neutral position and the blade engage
knob is down.
 Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking
brake.
 Lower the cutting deck to its lowest position.
 Insert auto stop plug immediately above the deck height
adjustment lever as shown.
WARNING:
The cutting deck lift is spring-assisted and under tension.
Serious personal injury can occur if the spring-assisted
deck lift is released suddenly. Always use the auto stop
plug to secure the deck height adjustment lever in place
while removing or installing the deck. Keep hands and
fingers below and away from deck lift at all times.
 Disconnect the three power cables from the mower to
the blade motors.
 Lift the deck clip release lever located at the top, rear of
the cutting deck.
 While lifting the latch, grab the deck with your other hand,
lift and slide forward to detach the deck clip from the
hook.
 Repeat on the opposite side.
 Slide the deck out from under the mower.
 Reverse the process to reattach the cutting deck to the
mower.
