6C Foot Controls Repair
GENERAL
Servicing the foot control group assemblies requires
access to the underside of the frame, which may be
gained by removing the mower deck and elevating the
unit to a convenient working height using a properly
rated jack or lift table.
The unit front end may also be tilted up for under-frame
access using a properly-rigged chain hoist, however this
method requires removal of the battery, and drainage of
the fuel tank, to prevent hazardous electrolyte and fuel
leakage.
DANGER
Never work on an elevated unit unless it is
securely supported, and wheels are firmly
chocked to prevent the unit from rolling off or
away from the supports.
DANGER
Always obey all safety precautions for working
around battery hazards such as electrolyte,
hydrogen gas, and live battery terminals when
removing and reinstalling the battery. Always
disconnect the negative terminal cable first, and
reconnect it last, to help prevent dangerous
sparking caused by accidental tool contact
between the positive terminal of the battery and
the frame. Keep the battery level when handling
to prevent leakage of electrolyte.
