Installing the Mower
Preparing the Mower
Install the mower on a level concrete surface. Rough dirt
or lawn surfaces make installation much more difficult.

C. Pull the rod toward the outside of the mower, insert
the end of the rod into the hole in the height of cut
plate, and install the hairpin cotter into the second
hole of the wheel rod (Fig. 5).
3. Set the height of the two front mower wheels and turn
the wheels parallel to the mower by removing the clevis
pins and hairpin cotters, then turning and raising or
lowering the wheels until you can put the clevis pins
and hairpin cotters in the third position from the top
(Fig. 4).
Preparing the Tractor
Install the mower on a level concrete surface. Rougher dirt
or lawn surfaces make installation more difficult.
1. Position the tractor and mower side by side, with the
mower on the right side of the tractor.
2. Set the parking brake, raise the attachment lift, turn the
steering wheel all the way to the right, stop the
engine, and remove the ignition key.
3. If you have previously had a snowthrower, blade, or
tiller attached to the attachment lift, remove the two
clevis pins on each side of the attachment lift (Fig. 6).
