deck. Tighten until spring washers are flat.
7. Position tractor with mower deck support frame in
place, over the mower deck.
When mower deck is not installed or the two
front support rod hairpins are removed from
the mower deck, the unbalanced weight of the
tractor or tractor with mounted mower deck
support frame may cause the front of the unit to
rise suddenly. If the unit rises suddenly, injury
may occur.
Securely hold down the front end of the unit
when the mower deck is not installed or the
support rod hairpins are removed.
8. Align and re-install the mower deck support pins
into the support frame. Install the two spacers and
hairpins onto the front support pins and the two
hairpins and spacers onto the rear support pins. See
Figure 1.
