Cutter Deck Removal - C Series Garden Tractor
The Rear Discharge Deck is used in conjunction with the
PGC. It ejects grass rearwards after cutting for the
Powered Grass Collector to collect. Either the Mulch Deck
or the Rear Discharge Deck can be fitted to the C Series
using the following instructions.
REMOVAL OF CUTTER DECK - Fig 10
The Cutter Deck can be quickly removed for servicing or
cleaning or to give greater clearance when driving or
towing over uneven ground. Follow this sequence:
1. Put the Cutter to its lowest position (see page 5).
2. De-tension the Cutter Drive Belt with the Deck Tension
Lever situated under the left (nearside) running board
(see figure 13).
3. Remove the 3 securing pins from the front of the deck
(fig 11 – A, B and C) by pulling out the spring clips.
4. Remove the 2 securing pins and washers from the back
of the deck (fig 12 – D and E).
5. Slip the Cutter Deck Drive Belt off the Engine Pulley.
6. Slide the Deck out.
7. If you are going to use the Tractor without the deck,
remove the Securing Bar (fig 10 – F).
8. Reverse this procedure to re-install.
Please Note: - CUTTER DECK REMOVAL
IMPORTANT
When replacing the Cutter Deck, Re-tension the belt with
the lever under the running board BEFORE attempting to
use your tractor.
Notes:
TO CLEAN THE CUTTER DECK
Remove the deck as instructed, stand it on its side and
hose off accumulated cuttings. This may be necessary
routinely to prevent build up of cuttings, particularly at the
beginning of the season when the grass is lush and wet.
Thoroughly wash the underside of the Cutter Deck as
regularly as possible.
ENGINE TO CUTTER DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
To replace the Engine to Cutter Drive Belt, follow this
sequence:
1. Pull the Belt Tension Lever forward to detension (fig 13).
2. Lower the Cutter Deck to the lowest position (page 5).
3. Remove the belt from the Forward Electric Clutch Pulley
– it will slip off.
4. Remove the Cover of the Cutter Deck Pulley Housing –
loosen and remove the 1/4" UNF nut and bolt using two
7/16" spanner/sockets – then slide (tap) the cover off.
5. Remove the belt from the Cutter Deck Pulley – you may
have to ease it off by rotating the pulley.
6.Now replace the CORRECT BELT (see decal mounted
on Cutter Deck), by reversing this procedure, taking care
to fit the belt into the ‘V’ grooves.
7. Pull back the Belt Tension Lever so the Belt is tensioned.
Now check and adjust belt tension as detailed on
page 11.
