Assembly Instructions<br />
NOTE: When installing the DSD52 or DSD62<br />
Mower deck, make sure to retract the dolly<br />
wheel after mounting the deck on the tractor.<br />
3. If the deck is rear discharge (GHS equipped<br />
model), the rear discharge chute will need to be<br />
aligned and connected to the blower inlet during<br />
the last 2 in. (51 mm) of slide action on the<br />
support arms.<br />
NOTE: Raising the mower body may be helpful<br />
in fitting and guiding the deck chute into the<br />
blower.<br />
4. Install the hitch pin through the hole on the end<br />
of each support arm to lock the deck in place<br />
(refer to Deck Counterweight Spring Installation<br />
photo). Two (2) hitch pins are included in<br />
the owner’s packet of materials.<br />
5. Connect the mower deck PTO drive shaft<br />
assembly to the tractor with the splined quick<br />
disconnect coupler. This coupler simplifies<br />
shaft alignment and installation.<br />
a. Use the arrows on the shaft and tube to<br />
align and slide the PTO quick coupler onto<br />
the deck rectangular shaft.<br />
b. Reaching under the tractor, pull the ring<br />
back on the coupler, slide onto the spline<br />
shaft on the tractor, and release the ring.<br />
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the mower,<br />
make sure the PTO shaft assembly is securely<br />
locked on the tractor, with the locking balls fully seated<br />
in the groove and the ring in the full forward position<br />
(refer to the Coupler Ring “Locked” Position<br />
photo). After installation, pull on the shaft to check for<br />
security.<br />

6. Raise the front mower body (instead of lifting<br />
the front of deck) and clip the counterweight<br />
springs to the receptacle on front of body.<br />
Lower the front body to tension the springs.<br />

7. With the counterweight springs connected, the<br />
weight on the deck caster wheels should be<br />
15 to 25 Ib (6.8 to 11.3 kg). Check this weight<br />
by lifting on the front of the deck carrier frame.<br />
If required, the spring tension can be adjusted<br />
by tightening or loosening the elastic stop nuts<br />
located underneath the lower spring hook.<br />
