Removing the Mower Deck

Before servicing or removing the mower deck, lock
out the spring-loaded deck arms.
WARNING
Deck-lift-arm assemblies have stored energy.
Removing the deck without releasing the
stored energy can cause serious injury or
death.
Do not attempt to disassemble the deck from
the front frame without locking out the stored
energy.
1. Shut off the engine, wait for all of the moving
parts to stop, remove the key, and engage
parking brake.
2. Remove the height-adjustment pin and lower
the deck to the ground.
3. Place the height-adjustment pin in the 7.6 cm (3
inch) height-of-cut location.
Note:
This locks the deck-lift arms in the lowest
position so that when you remove the deck, the
stored energy in the deck spring is released.
4. Remove the belt covers.
5. Lift the floor pan and insert a ratchet into the
square hole in the deck idler
6. Rotate the deck idler clockwise and remove the
