7. Install Front Lift Axle:
a. Place Stainless steel shaft into front deck lift axle (Fig. 14). The tab end of shaft
goes on the operator’s side (Chute side) of mower.
b. Grease spanners and insert in lift axle as shown in Fig. 15. Spanners will fit flush.
c. Install machined bushing on the end of shaft (Fig. 16, A) and install front lift axle
assembly between frame rails, ensure deck lift linkage is raised and out of the way
so it doesn’t get trapped under lift axle. (Fig. 16, B)
