Park the lawn tractor on a level surface. Stop the engine. Engage
the parking brake. Remove the ignition key. Allow the engine to
fully cool. Disconnect both spark plug caps.
If tire chains are installed, remove them to prevent damage to the
mower deck.
Put the lift lever all the way back to TRANSPORT (upper) position.
Turn the height adjustment knob to the blank mark on knob.
On 48 inch mowers only: Pull out on
J-pins and turn anti-scalp rollers 90
degrees on both sides of mower. This
position makes it easy to move the

mower out from under the tractor.
Release J pins in shaft holes to lock
rollers in position.
The lift assist spring is under tension
when the lift lever is not in the
LOCKOUT position.
You can be injured by the lift spring.
Always move the lift lever to the
LOCKOUT position before removing
the mower deck.
