WARNING
Deck Removal
The muffler and any surrounding parts at the rear of the mower may be
extremely hot, and could cause serious burns. Use extreme caution when
near the muffler. Allow the muffler to fully cool before removing the belt
from the PTO pulley.
Remove the mower deck from the mower as follows:
1. Lower the deck to the ground. Capture the deck lift by placing the clevis pin
behind the lowest position.
2. Apply the parking brake. Remove ignition key and the spark plug cap.
3. Using a 1/2" drive in the idler pulley bracket (a), turn the wrench towards the
right of the mower and slide the PTO belt (b) off the PTO pulley (c) (Figure 56).
4. Remove the four lynch pins (a) that secure the deck to the deck lift assembly
(Figure 57).
The spring is under tension due to the weight of the deck. When removing
the lift linkage from the deck the tension of the springs will go from the
deck to the deck lift pedal. Not capturing the deck lift pedal by placing the
clevis pin behind the lowest position while removing the lift linkage from
the deck will cause it to snap back.
