Deck Lift Lock Lever Lockout Plate
Operation (Models S/N: 2016098451 &
Above)
The Deck Lift Lock Lever Lockout Plate(A, Figure 32)
can be used to prevent the mower deck from locking
the deck in the TRANSPORT position if you raise the
deck during operation to clear an object.
1. Move the deck lift lock lever (A) away from the
operating position, and rotate the deck lift lever
lockout plate (B) to the UNLOCK (C) position
(facing towards the operating position) and allow
the deck lift lever lockout plate to contact the deck
height box.
The mower deck can now be raised to the
transport position without the deck lift lock lever
engaging.
2. Move the deck lift lock lever away from the
operating position, and rotate the deck lift lever
lockout plate to the LOCK (D) position (facing
towards the rear of the machine) and allow the
deck lift lever to return to its natural position.
The mower deck can now be raised to the
transport position and the deck lift lock lever will
lock it in place.
