POTENTIAL
HAZARD
• Without the discharge chute mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
HOW TO AV
•
NEVER r
OID THE HAZARD
emove the discharge chute from
the mower because the discharge chute
routes material down toward the turf. If
the discharge chute is ever damaged,
replace it immediately. Never put your
hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or
mower blades unless you move the power
take off (PTO) to “OFF” and turn the
ignition key to “STOP.” Also remove the
ignition key and pull the wire(s) off the
spark plug(s).

Initial Preparation
The mower must be installed on a level concrete
surface. Rough dirt or lawn surfaces make
installation much more difficult.

1. Route the mower belt as shown in Fig. 2. Be
sure to install the belt on the lower mower deck
pulley.
1. Place the height–of–cut lever on the deck to the

rod (Fig. 4).
B. Lifting the rear of the deck.
C. Pulling the rod toward the outside of the
mower, inserting the end of the rod into the
hole in the height–of–cut plate (Fig. 4), and
then installing the hairpin cotter into the
second hole of the wheel rod as shown
(Fig. 4).
3. Set the height of the (2) front mower wheels and
turn the wheels parallel to the mower by
removing the clevis pins and hairpin cotters,
then turning and raising or lowering the wheels
until you can put the clevis pins and hairpin
cotters in the third position from the top (Fig. 3).

or tiller attached to the attachment lift, remove
the two clevis pins on each side of the
