The warning system in this manual identifies

potential hazards and has special safety messages that

help you and others avoid personal injury, even death.

DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal

words used to identify the level of hazard. However,

regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.

DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause

serious injury or death if the recommended

precautions are not followed.

WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious

injury or death if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or

moderate injury if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

Two other words are also used to highlight

information. “Important” calls attention to special

mechanical information and “Note” emphasizes

general information worthy of special attention.

The left and right side of the machine is determined

by sitting on the seat in the normal operator’s

position.

POTENTIAL

HAZARD

•Without the grass deflector or complete

grass catcher assembly mounted in place,

you and others are exposed to blade contact

and thrown debris.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and

thrown debris will cause injury or death.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

•

NEVER r

emove the grass deflector from

the mower because the grass deflector

routes material down toward the turf. If

the grass deflector is ever damaged, replace

it immediately. Never put your hands or

feet under the mower.

•Never try to clear the discharge area or

mower blades unless you move the power

take off (PTO) to “OFF” and turn the

ignition key to “STOP.” Also remove the

key and pull the wire off the spark plug(s).

Mower Belt Routing

1. Route the mower belt as shown in Fig. 2. Be

sure to install the belt on the lower mower deck

pulley.

Installing

the Mower

Initial Preparation

The mower is most easily installed when done on a

level concrete surface. Rougher dirt or lawn surfaces

make installation more difficult.

1. Position the tractor and mower side by side, with

the mower on the right–hand side of the tractor.

2. Set the parking brake, raise the attachment lift,

and turn the ignition key to “STOP” to stop the

engine. Remove the key.

3. If you have previously had a snowthrower, blade

or tiller attached to the attachment lift, remove

the two clevis pins on each side of the

attachment lift (Fig. 3).

m–3433

4. Attach the pulley box if it is not already on the

tractor. Make sure the latches on the tractor’s

front Attach–A–Maticare open (Fig. 4). Then

slide the pulley box into the Attach–A–Matic

latches and seat it. Close the latches.

Attach the Mower

1. Make sure the mower wheels are set for low

height of cut.

2. Make sure the attachment lift is in the full up

position, then turn the ignition key to “STOP” to

stop the engine, set the parking brake, and

remove the ignition key.

3. From the driver’s right–hand side of the tractor,

slide the mower under the tractor.

4. After sliding the mower under the tractor,

position it so that the slots in the side of each of

the mower’s mounting brackets (Fig. 5) are

aligned directly below the tractor’

s attachment

lift arm.

5. Start the tractor.

6. Lower the attachment lift arm fully and adjust

the deck’s position until you can pull out on the

J–pin of the lift arm and slide it into the slot in

the mounting bracket of the mower (Fig. 6).

7. On the driver’s left–hand side, pull out the

attachment lift J–pin and slide it into the slot on

the other mower mounting bracket.

Installation

8. After the two J–pins are seated through the

mower’s mounting brackets, using the

attachment lift and your hand on the right front

adjustable mower wheel bracket (Fig. 7),

position the mower so its attachment bar fits into

the mid Attach–A–Maticmount.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•The “scissor” formed by the mower

mounting brackets and the attachment lift

arm is dangerous.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Hands and fingers can get caught between

the mower parts and the tractor and be

injured.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

•Keep hands away from moving parts while

operating the attachment lift.

•Always position the mower with your hand

on the right front mower wheel bracket.

•Never try to position the mower with your

hands on the mower mounting brackets or

below the mower housing.

•Touching hot components can cause burns.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

•Allow the tractor to cool before performing

maintenance or touching components

under the hood.

5. Position the end of the belt into the grooves of

the PTO pulley (Fig. 11), making sure it is also

under the pulleys in the pulley box.

6. Loop the other end of the belt over the drive

pulley of the mower. Additional belt slack can

be obtained (if needed) by turning the belt

tension adjustment knob (Fig. 12).

7. Now adjust the belt tension.

Adjusting

the Mower

Adjusting the Height of Cut

The rear gauge wheels are adjusted in different hole

locations for 1–1/2—4–1/2” (4–11 cm) heights of cut.

1. Start the tractor, apply the parking brake, and

raise the deck. Get off the tractor. Pull the

height–of–cut lever out to disengage it from the

height–of–cut plate. Adjust the height of cut to

the desired level. Release the lever inward to

lock into the height–of–cut plate (Fig. 14).

Checking Mower Level

For optimum efficiency, the level of the mower

should be checked at the time of initial installation

and periodically as a check, to ensure that the blades

are 1/8” (3 mm) lower in the front than in the rear.

The mower must be checked and adjusted on a flat

level surface, preferably concrete. Before checking

the mower level, set the air pressure in the front and

rear tires to 12 psi (.85 kPa). Place the mower

height–of–cut lever to the middle cut position. Make

sure the two adjustable front wheels are off the

ground.
