7.3. Remove the wing lift shield using a 9/16”
wrench. See Figure 7.3.
7.4. Mowers produced after mid-season 2005 (2005/
2) are equipped with a lateral brace between the
frame and the mowing deck, similar to a panhard
rod in the rear suspension of a car or truck. Dis-
connect or remove the lateral brace as required
by the task at-hand using a 5/8” wrench and an
11/16” wrench. See Figure 7.4.

7.5. Block all four hinge locks into the unlatched posi-
tion using extra wrenches. See Figure 7.5.
NOTE: Wrenches are handy to insert, easy to
spot, and unlikely to be forgotten.
7.6. Slide the rubber boot back from the cable end,
and remove the end jam nut on the cable using a
pair of 1/2” wrenches.
7.7. With the wings unlatched, they can be lifted
manually. Lift the wings manually to put slack in
the lift cable so that the end of the cable can be
slipped-out of the hole and slot in the bracket.
See Figure 7.7.
7.8. Once the cable housing is released from the
bracket on the deck, the barrel on the end of the
cable core can be maneuvered out of the hole
and slot in the wing lift bracket.
