2) With the TDR Spreader Fixture (526498) in place, attach a ratchet equipped strap between both wing
decks using the points shown.
3) Tighten the device until enough tension is relieved from the shipping brace bar. Remove the wire securing
the flat bar to the wing, and the flat bar itself.
4) Connect the mower to a hydraulic supply. Retract the hydraulic cylinders and release the deck locks.
Ensuring the deck spreader prevents the decks from swinging under the main frame; lower all decks until
they are fully resting on the ground.
5) Remove each pin and shipping link on each side of the deck swivel. The unpainted shipping links & pin
may be suitably disposed of.
6) Remove the wooden shipping blocks from the four stand-off arms.

Be sure to stay clear of the each wing deck as you loosen the ratchet strap.
The top of each deck will quickly swing outwards from the machine once
tension is released from the strap.
Never retract the wing cylinders into the lift and turn position when the decks
are not attached to the wings. You will damage the wing and lock
components; the force the cylinders supply is too great without the
counterweight of the decks.
