IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the mow-
er, make sure the PTO shaft assembly is se-
curely 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); this adjustment is
preset at the factory. If required, the spring ten-
sion can be adjusted by tightening or loosening
the elastic stop nuts located underneath the
lower spring hook, or contact your local dealer
if additional help is required. Refer to Deck
Counterweight Spring Installation photo.
