Lift Assist Adjustment
(Figure 38)
The deck lift assist springs are adjusted to
reduce lift effort or to increase deck stability.
To adjust the force required to lift the deck:
1. Loosen the jam nut (1) on the lift assist
spring anchor bolt.
2. Adjust the spring anchor to the desired
setting:
• Loosen the spring anchor (turn counter-
clockwise) to decrease spring tension
and increase the effort required to raise
and lower the deck. This will also add
stability to the deck.
• Tighten the spring anchor (turn
clockwise) to increase spring tension and
decrease the effort required to raise and
lower the deck.
IMPORTANT: Excessive spring tension will
make the deck more likely to lift and bounce
off the turf when the mower travels over
rough terrain.
3. Repeat for the other side of the deck.
4. Measure the distances between the end
of the assist springs and the trunnions on
both sides. Ensure that both assist
springs are adjusted to the same
dimension.
NOTICE: Lift springs must be adjusted to the
same tension on each side of the deck to
prevent cut quality issues.

Removing the Mower Deck
(Figure 39)
1. Remove PTO belt (See Replacing Mower
Belts on page 38).
WARNING: AVOID INJURY.
Mower lift arms and mower lift
pedal could cause severe injury if
the lift assist spring is not
disconnected before
disconnecting the lift links.
Springs store energy. Keep body
parts well away from pinch points
when removing the deck.
NOTICE: Support the mower deck on blocks
or jack stands before disconnecting links from
mower lift arms to prevent the deck from
falling.
2. Raise the deck to the transport position
and disconnect the lift assist springs (6)
from the mower lift arms (1) on each side
of the deck.
3. Slowly lower the deck to its lowest
position.
4. Remove hardware (5) retaining mower lift
links(2) from mower lift arms.
