♦ Allow the deck sheave to cool completely before
removing the belt.
3.3.4 Pull the idler release handle and remove the belt from the upper groove of the deck
sheave.

3.3.6 Install the discharge chute using the chute pivot pin and hairpin (See Figure 8).
3.3.7 Re-install the plastic belt cover and tighten the knobs.
3.3.8 Disconnect the handle link from the actuation arm on the hopper. Connect the link to
the arm on the handle mount for storage during side discharge operation.
3.3.9 Remove the hair pins and clevis pins holding the hopper assembly to the mount
weldment.

hairpins and clevis pins that hold the weights to the caster arms. Carefully lift the
weights off of the caster arms. The weights attached to the floorpan remain on the unit.
Note: The removable weights are heavy. Use care when lifting them. Make sure that
you can hold them securely before lifting them. Use caution when positioning
your hands so that you do not set them down on your hands or fingers.
Note: The portions of the Ultra Vac QDS bagger that are not bolted to the mower are
designed to be installed or removed in their entirety. Do not operate the mower
with only a portion of the Ultra Vac QDS installed.
