CLEANING<br />
Grass Buildup in Mower Housing<br />
Non-Tilting Decks<br />
DANGER<br />
NOTE: While some degree of material buildup<br />
in the mower deck housing can be tolerated, a<br />
point is finally reached where cutting quality<br />
deteriorates and clogging begins to occur<br />
because of too much buildup on the baffling and<br />
housing.<br />
Before raising or removing the mower<br />
deck for cleaning, stop the engine, remove<br />
the ignition key, and disconnect the<br />
spark plug wires.<br />
Tilt-Up Decks<br />
DANGER<br />
1. Raise the deck and secure it in the UP position<br />
by hooking the deck lift rod into the body bracket<br />
below the counterweight spring clip. The rod is<br />
hinged and is stowed along the footrest of the<br />
deck carrier frame. A hitch pin on the end of the<br />
rod is used to secure it in place with the deck<br />
raised.<br />
DANGER<br />
NEVER operate cutter blades with the<br />
deck in the raised position.<br />
Before raising or removing the mower<br />
deck for cleaning, stop the engine, remove<br />
the ignition key, and disconnect the<br />
spark plug wires.<br />
1. Raise the deck lock lever handle on each side<br />
of the carrier frame and pull out to release carrier<br />
frame for tilting action.<br />
2. Using the carrier frame lift handle, raise deck to<br />
the TILT-UP position and insert the deck hook<br />
into the tilt-up latch on the tractor body.<br />

to clean the deck by removing the deck assembly<br />
from the tractor and standing the deck assembly<br />
on its “nose”.<br />
