Disassembly (Fig. 6)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting deck
(or implement), stop engine and remove key from the
ignition switch.
2. Remove brake return spring (item 19) from brake
cable link (item 20). Disconnect brake cable from brake
lever by removing cotter pin (item 18) and clevis pin
(item 17).
When removing wheels, use correct blocks,
hoists and jacks. Make sure machine is parked
on a solid, level surface such as a concrete
floor. Prior to raising machine, remove any at-
tachments that may interfere with the safe and
proper raising of the machine. Always chock or
block wheels. Use jack stands or solid wood
blocks to support the raised machine. If the ma-
chine is not properly supported by blocks or
jack stands, the machine may move or fall,
which may result in personal injury.
CAUTION
3. Chock rear wheels and jack up front of machine (see
Jacking Instructions in Chapter 1 − Safety). Support ma-
chine with jack stands or solid wood blocks.
4. Remove wheel lug nuts and slide wheel assembly
from front axle.
