Removing the deck
1.
On a flat level surface raise deck to highest
position.
2.
Place 2 furniture dollies under each end of the
deck and lower it so it rests on the dollies.
3.
Remove the bolts (5/16 inch) and remove the
pins from the drag-links on each side of the deck.
4.
Remove the four retainer clips and clevis pins
from the chains suspending the deck.
5.
Remove the roll pin and loosen the bolts
securing the driveshaft to the deck.
6.
Slide the driveshaft off of the deck gearbox and
secure it to the frame of the machine with a
bungie cord or strap.
7.
The deck can now be rolled out from under the
machine.
8.
If preparing the machine for winter work, it would
be advisable to remove the deck hanging chains.
Attaching the deck
1.
If the deck chains were removed from the lift
arms, reinstall them.
2.
Raise the drag-links on the deck with a pry bar
and place a block (6 x 2 x 4 inch) under each
one to lift the arm up. Use caution, as there
will be energy stored in the torsion spring.
3.
Raise the front of the machine so there is
enough clearance to slide the deck underneath,
and line up slots with the drag-link.
4.
Slowly lower the machine over the drag links
until the holes line up in the frame. Insert the
pins and secure it with bolts (5/16 inch).
5.
Raise the machine slightly until the block can be
easily removed from underneath the drag-links.
6.
Lower the machine until the chains can be
attached with clevis pins and retainer clips. The
machine my need to be started and the lift arms
lowered to the lowest position so the chains will
reach the deck.
7.
After the deck is attached, slide the driveshaft
over the gear box spline until the holes are
aligned. Insert the roll-pins and tighten the two
bolts on the driveshaft.
8.
Start the machine and raise the deck high
enough to remove the furniture dollies.
9.
To adjust and verify the height of cut, consult the
Owner's Manual.
