Pull both deck support pins outward and rotate
rearward to disengage the outer surface ot the rear
deck brackets. Release the pins, making certain
each deck support pin passes through the inner

will push the pins inward and, if aligned, through
the hole in each implement lift link (See Figure 56).

NOTE
It may be necessary to lift each side of the deck
and maneuver it slightly to align the support
pins with the holes of the lift links. Make certain
the support pins are fully extended through the
lift links to prevent the mower deck from
disengaging the lift links while mowing.
WARNING
The deck idler arm lever is spring loaded.
Release it slowly.
Disengage the deck idler arm lever from its stop
bracket and release the spring tension by rotating
the lever out and rearward (See Figure 57).
