Preperation
WARNING: Before beginning installation, place
the tractor on a firm and level surface, set the
parking brake, place the PTO in the disengaged
(OFF) position, stop the tractor’s motor and remove
the ignition key to prevent unintended starting.
1. Crack the lug nuts loose on the rear-right wheel.
2. Using a floor jack, raise the rear-end of the machine and
secure the rear-right side of the frame with a jack stand.
Note: Do not position the jackstand under the rear bumper,
as the bumper hardware will be removed in the following
steps.
3. Place the deck lift handle in its top (fully raised) position
and insert wood blocks beneath the deck so that it is firmly
secured. Use shims, if necessary, to accurately maintain this
deck height.

2Section 1 — inStallation
4. Remove the rear right wheel.
5. Remove and discard the right-hand (deck) lift assist spring
by removing the hex screw and flat washer that secures it.
See Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2
6. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove (and discard) the two
plastic push rivets that secure the right-hand control panel
in place. Pivot the right-hand control panel upward and out
of the slots in the pod. See Figure 1-3.
Note: Unplugging the PTO switch may ease in completing
the installation.
Figure 1-3
Installation
1. Using a ⁄inch long self-tapping screw (710-0642), cut
threads in the lower hole of the lift bracket (703-09525).
Remove the self-tapping screw before proceding to the
next step.
2. Install the lift bracket (703-09525) to the inside face of the
cross shaft bracket using one ⁄inch long self-tapping
screw (710-0642), one 1⁄-inch hex screw (710-3005),
1⁄-inch OD flat washer (736-0227) and flange lock nut
(712-04065). See Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4
3. Remove and discard the rear hex screw and lock nut that
secures the right portion of the rear bumper. Loosen,
but do not remove, the front hex screw and lock nut that
secures the right portion of the rear bumper.
See Figure 1-5.
Figure 1-5

3Section 1 — inStallation
6. Secure the rear of the actuator between the inner- and
outer-mounting brackets with one shoulder screw (738-
0527) and flange lock nut (712-04065). See Figure 1-8.
Figure 1-8
7. Securely tighten the inner- and outer-mounting bracket
hardware installed earlier.
8. Securely tighten the front hex nut and lock nut that secures
the right portion of the rear bumper.
9. Fully thread the jam nut (712-3048) and coupling (711-
06168) onto the lift link (603-05103). See Figure 1-9.
Figure 1-9
10. Position the lift link over frame cross brace, above the wire
harness, throttle cable and choke cable (if so equipped).
Important: The lift link must be positioned above the wire
harness, throttle cable and choke cable (if so equipped).
4. Install the inner- and outer-mounting brackets (703-09485
and 703-09487) to the right portion of the rear bumper
with two 1⁄-inch long hex screws (710-0805) and flange
lock nuts (712-04063). Insert two ⁄-inch thick spacers
(750-0258) in between the frame and the inner bracket. Do
not tighten the hardware at this time. See Figure 1-6.
Note: If the unit is equipped with a grass collector, secure
the brackets with two 1⁄-inch long hex screws and insert
two additional ⁄-inch spacers (750-0890) in the rear of the
bagger support bracket. See Figure 1-7.
Figure 1-6
Figure 1-7
5. Fully retract the actuator rod by threading it inward until
you feel resistance.

4Section 1 — inStallation
11. Secure the lift link to the inside face of lift bracket using a
shoulder bolt (738-0507B), 1⁄-inch OD flat washer (736-
0179) and flange lock nut (712-04065). See Figure 1-10.
Important: The shoulder bolt must slide freely in the slot.
Figure 1-10
12. With the lift link shoulder bolt positioned in the rear of the
slot, unthread the lift coupling until its cross holes align
with the hole in the actuator rod. Secure the coupling in
place with the clevis pin (711-0231), but do not insert the
cotter pin yet. See Figure 1-11.
Figure 1-11
13. Remove any wood blocks and shims from beneath the
deck.
14. Install cotter pin (714-0115) into clevis pin to secure the
coupling to the actuator rod.
15. Thread the jam nut securely to the coupling to prevent it
from moving. Tighten to 680 in-lbs.
16. Remove the existing lift handle from the machine by
removing the two hex screw and flange lock nuts that
secure it. See Figure 1-12. Retain the mounting screws.
Discard the flange lock nuts.
Figure 1-12
17. Position the new lift handle assembly in place and secure
it using the two hex screws removed earlier and two (new)
flange lock nuts (712-04063). See Figure 1-13.
Figure 1-13

5Section 1 — inStallation
18. Locate the .85-inch x 1.5-inch debossed area of the switch
panel on the right-hand pod. Carefully cut out this area
with a utility knife.
Important: To ensure proper switch operation after
installation, file the edges of the cut area square and to size.
See Figure 1-14.
19. Insert the actuator switch (725-04704) into the cut-out area
with its terminal facing outward.See Figure 1-14.
Note: Do not force the switch in the cut-out area. It should
easily snap into a correctly sized opening.
Figure 1-14
20. Route the connector end of the kit’s wire harness (725-
06136) through the rectangular cross brace hole and up to
the actuator switch. See Figure 1-15. Plug the wire harness
connector into switch.
Figure 1-15
21. Plug the wire harness’ accessory connector into the
accessory port found on the main wire harness under the
seat box near the front, left-side of the battery.
22. Connect the kit’s wire harness to the battery terminals,
Red to Positive and Black to Negative, using two sems nuts
(712-0271).
23. Connect the actuator’s power lead to the wire harness.
Note: The actuator’s power lead is cable tied for packaging.
Do not cut the cable tie; the excess length of the power
lead is not needed for this application.
24. Secure the excess actuator wire lead to side frame rail using
the clamp (726-0272) and ⁄-inch long self-tapping screw
(710-04484). See Figure 1-16.
Figure 1-16
25. Secure the throttle cable and choke cable away from the lift
link using cable tie mounted through the hole found in the
bracket. See Figure 1-17.
Figure 1-17

6Section 1 — inStallation
26. Secure the lift switch wire lead to the main wire harness
with a cable tie (725-0157), away from the moving handle.
27. Secure the lift kit’s wire harness relay box to the main wire
harness with a cable tie (725-0157).
28. Plug the PTO switch back in (if unplugged) and pivot the
right-hand control panel downward, back into the slots
in the pod. Secure the panel with two plastic rivets (728-
0199).
29. Test the kit’s operation by turning the ignition key into the
accessory position and cycling the deck down and up. If
the deck’s operation movement is opposite (i.e. it raises
when the switch is pushed forward), then the switch was
installed incorrectly. Remove the switch, rotate it 180° and
reinstall it. With th control panel in place, check the throttle
cable, choke cable and wire harnesses for interference and
make sure there is no binding in the link assembly.
Note: If the lift handle assembly does not freely drop to the
lowest position, it may be necessary to reduce the tension
on the left-hand (deck) lift-assist spring. To do so, locate
the tensioning screw that secures the spring and unthread
it approximately 16 rotations counter-clockwise (refer to
Figure 1-19). This will create a one-inch gap between the
spring and the bracket and allow the lift handle assembly
to drop.
30. Reinstall the rear-right wheel.
31. Carefully remove the floor jack and jack stand.
32. Tighten the lug nuts to between 350 in-lbs. and 500 in-lbs.
Operation
1. Using the actuator switch, raise the cutting deck to its
highest position.
Note: When raising the cutting deck, it is normal to hear a
ratcheting sound at the end of the actuator stroke.
2. Insert the cutting height pin into the hole in the index
bracket best suited for your application.
Figure 1-18
3. Using the actuator switch, lower the cutting deck. It will
automatically stop in the position indicated by cutting
height pin.
Note: Prior to removing the cutting deck for any reason (e.g.
service, maintenance, cleaning, etc.), release all tension from the
left-hand (deck) lift-assist spring. Refer to Figure 1-19.
