Removal of cutter deck (fig. 50, 51, 52, 53 &
53a)
The Cutter Deck is quickly installed. It may also be
necessary to remove the deck from time to time for
servicing or cleaning, or to give greater clearance
when driving or towing over uneven ground.
To Remove
First engage the parking brake, turn off the engine
and remove the ignition key. Wait for all moving
parts, blades and belts to stop moving, remove the
spark plugs then follow this sequence:
1. Lower the cutting deck to its lowest position.
2. De-tension the Cutter Drive Belt by removing
the tension rod from the front of the deck
(fig. 51 - D). See tensioner setup section for
rod installation guidance.
3. Remove the belt (fig. 52 - belt E) from the
pulley (fig. 50 - pulley marked C).
4. Remove the 2 securing pins from the front of
the deck (fig. 50 - pins marked A) by undoing
the Rue Clips (Fig. 53a installed correctly)
and removing them.
5. Repeat for the 2 securing pins at the back of
the deck (Fig. 50 - pins marked B).
6. Slip the cutter drive belt off the Engine Pulley.
7. Put steering onto full lock to ease deck out.
