STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION (Hardware A)
1. There are four height positions for the steering
wheel. For shipping purposes, the steering shaft
is assembled in the lowest position. Lift the hood
of the tractor. Remove the hex bolt and hex lock
nut on the steering shaft. Raise the shaft to
desired position and secure with hex bolt and hex
lock nut. See figure 4.
2. Attach one end of the plastic steering bellow to
the steering wheel as shown in figure 4, inset.
3. Position the front wheels of the tractor so they are
pointing straight forward.
4. Place the steering wheel (with steering bellow
attached) over the steering shaft extending
through the dash, positioning steering wheel as
desired.
5. Place the washer with the cupped side down over
the steering shaft. Secure with 5/16" hex lock nut.
See figure 4.
6. Place the steering wheel cap over the center of
the steering wheel so the logo can be read from
the operator’s position, and press on by hand.
ATTACHING THE DECK LINKS (Hardware B)
The three adjustable deck links have been shipped
unassembled. Attach as follows.
1. Start 1/2” hex nuts on eyebolts provided. Insert
the hex nuts and eyebolts into the adjustable lift
-links as shown in figure 5.
2. Thread eyebolts into the lift links and hex nuts.
The left rear link should be adjusted so the eye-
bolt is to the lower mark as shown. The two front
links should be adjusted to the higher mark.
NOTE: This adjustment is for 46" decks only. For 44"
decks, the eyebolts should be at the lower marks for
all three links.
