Installation of Improved Deck-Lift System
1. Install New Rear Lift Axle and Rear Pins:
a. Install rear lift axle from the bottom of mower, lift evenly into place lining up rear
pin hole as close as possible.
NOTE: It may be necessary to spread the frame in the front to ease lift axle
into place.
b. Install rear pins from inside of the assembly. The 7/8” machined shoulder of the
pin should fit in the 7/8” hole in the frame sidewall originally used by the old pin
system.
c. Make sure the pin is flush with the face of the housing (Fig. 11, A). Tighten with
¾” socket and wrench (Fig. 11, B)
