ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
DECK & FRAME
1. Disassemble shipping crate sides and top leaving the mower deck and main frame
on the crate base.
2. Lift and rotate the main frame, setting it down so the three lift brackets on the main
frame are above the three eyebolts in the mower deck. Insert each of the eyebolts
up through the brass bushings. Install one 1/2” SAE flat washer on each eyebolt
and then the PUR1566 spring followed by another 1/2” SAE flat washer and then
screw down the CYC3478 crank handles to raise the mower deck. See picture
below.
The handle stop is to keep the handle from spinning when the mower is in use. Included
with the parts bag are three rings. Drop one ring over each of the crank handles to
restrict movement and ensuring effectiveness of the handle stop.
