Adjusting the Deck-Lift
Spring
Note:
Adjusting the compression spring alters how
much the deck floats and the amount of effort needed
to lift the deck when using the height-of-cut lever.
•
More spring extension reduces the lever lift force
required and causes the deck to float more.
•
Less spring extension increases the lever lift force
required and causes the deck to float less.
1.
Raise the height-of-cut lever and lock it into the
transport position.
2.
Verify that the distance between the spring nut
and the rear side of the welded mount bracket
is 41 mm (1-5/8 inch).
3.
If needed, adjust the distance by adjusting the
bolt on the front of the mount bracket.

Replacing the Grass
Deflector
DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening allows
objects to be thrown toward you or
bystanders. Also, contact with the blade
could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact
will cause serious injury or death.
Do not operate the mower with the discharge
deflector raised, removed, or altered unless
a grass collection system or mulch kit is in
place and working properly.
1.
Remove the locknut, bolt, spring, and spacer
holding the deflector to the pivot brackets.

2.
Remove the damaged or worn grass deflector.
3.
Place the spacer and the spring onto the grass
deflector.
4.
Place 1 J-hook end of the spring behind the
deck edge.
Note:
Make sure that 1 J-hook end of spring is
installed behind deck edge before installing the
bolt as shown in
5.
Install the bolt and the nut.
6.
Place 1 J-hook end of the spring around the
grass deflector.
Important:
The grass deflector must be able
to rotate. Lift the deflector up to the full open
position, and ensure that it rotates into the
full-down position.
