SET-UP AND ASSEMBLY 
MOUNTING MOWER 
LIFT SYSTEM 
Install with the tractor on level ground. 
Lock the parking brake, set the transmission lever 
in "N" (Neutral) and the PTO clutch lever in the 
"OFF" position. Set Lift Control lever to "DOWN" 
and turn Lowering Speed Control knob fully 
counter-clockwise 
("FAST"). This allows you to pull 
the rear lift arms down by hand and makes assem- 
bly easier.

Installing Mower Lift Plate to Tractor 
Remove drawbar assembly; this is bolted onto 
the transmission housing below the Rear PTO. 
Retain bolts, nuts and spacers for installation of 
lift plate assembly. Remove any dirt and debris 
from bottom of transmission housing and make 
sure bolt holes and screw threads are clean. 
Assemble 
Y-lift bracket to
 lift plate assembly. 
Raised flange on 
lift plate assembly will face rear 
of tractor. Insert 
Y-lift bracket so that fork
 of Y  
faces front of tractor. 
3. 
Attach mower 
lift plate assembly to tractor, 
passing the two projecting stud bolts on the 
transmission housing through the holes in the lift 
plate flange. Slide on 
2 spacers previously 
removed and hand tighten both 
26 mm flange 
locknuts. 
4.
 
Reach beneath the mower 
lift plate assembly 
and carefully insert the four 
12 mm x 32 mm 
bolts through holes in lift plate assembly and 
into threaded holes on bottom of transmission 
housing. Housing 
is 
made of aluminum, 
so start 
bolts by hand to guard against cross threading. 
Tighten to 7 kg-m 
(50 
ft-lb). 
5. 
Finish by tightening two 
26 mm flange locknuts 
on projecting studs to 
kg-m 
(50 
ft-lb). 
Wear heavy gloves to protect 
your hands when installing lift link kit and 
mower deck. 
Lifting system can crush fingers 
and hands, 
so keep them clear of links and 
lift 
arms when operating.
