7. CUTTING DECK REMOVAL: EARLY 2005
PRODUCTION
NOTE: Decks having U-shaped front lift rods
were used on all Z-Wings produced after Nov. 1,
2005 (S/N: 0K015Z00001). These decks are ret-
rofitted to earlier production. Earlier decks are
easily identified by V-shaped front lift rods that
connect to the deck at a single point.
7.1. Remove the PTO belt as described in the PTO
Belt section of this manual, including all precau-
tions.
7.2. Trap the deck lift in the lowest position using the
clevis pin so that the cutting deck rests on the
ground and the lift handle does not imitate a cat-
apult when the weight of the deck is removed
from the lift assist springs. See Figure 7.2.
