6. Install the lynch pin through the hole on the end
of each support arm to lock the deck in place
(refer to Deck Counterweight Spring Installa-
tion photo). Two (2) lynch pins are included in
the owner's packet of materials.

make sure the ring has “snapped” securely on
the spline shaft.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate tractor with
Quick Coupler Installation Tool installed.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the
mower, make sure the PTO shaft assembly is
securely locked on the tractor, with the locking
balls fully seated in the groove and the ring in the
full forward position (refer to the Coupler Ring
“Locked” Position photo). After installation,
pull on the shaft to check for security.

8. Raise the mower body (instead of lifting the
front of deck) and clip the counterweight springs
to the receptacle on front of body. Lower the
body to tension the springs. (Refer to Deck
Counterweight Spring Installation Photo.)
9. With the counterweight springs connected, the
weight on the deck caster wheels should be 15
to 25 Ib (6.8 to 11.3 kg). Check this weight by lift-
ing on the front of the deck carrier frame. If
required, the spring tension can be adjusted by
tightening or loosening the elastic stop nuts lo-
cated underneath the lower spring hook. Refer
