9) Install the brackets as shown below. Depending on how your deck is set up, you may
have to install the brackets on the inside of the uprights. Leave these bolts loose at
this time.
Assembly Instructions:
I. Starting from the bottom hole of the 5, place a 5/16 x1 ¼ bolt in bottom
bracket hole, see pics above.
II. Place a 5/16 x 1 ½ bolt through spacer and safety latch into top bracket
hole.
III. Insure that the latch is properly orientated as shown above.
10) With the Deck Dolly preassembled, lay the unit over the deck and align the
brackets with the rod in the deck mount. Depending on how it fits you may have to
move the brackets to the other side of the Upright. The brackets have two sets of
holes and the key thing to remember is that the wheels are close or just touching the
ground when in the horizontal position. After insuring proper fit you may now
tighten those bolts.

11) Align the Upper Deck Support into the front deck mount leaving about an 1/8” of
space between the tube and the top of the deck mount. This is to insure that when in
the upright position the weight of the deck is on the lower mounts. There are
multiple holes so insure that the bottom bracket is seated in the deck mount and
situate the top bracket at the proper holes. Tighten these bolts.
12) You should now align and tighten the lower cross support tube when the brackets
are centered in the lower deck mount.
13) Check all bolts for tightness before operating the Deck Dolly.

Operating Instructions:
I. Lay the dolly over the mower deck engaging the bottom bracket hooks with
the bolts in the rear mount of the deck and the upper mount rod engaging
the front hook on the deck..
II. Once the deck’s mounting bolt is in the dolly bracket and the top dolly shaft
is engaged with the deck’s front hook, flip latch so that the top hole in the
Latch aligns with the hole in the leg of the dolly.
III. Pass the safety pin included with the kit through the hole and then through
the Safety Latch and position the catch on the safety pin over the pin. See
picture above.
IV. This Latch will not allow the deck to slip off the dolly and incur physical
harm to the operator.
NOTE: These instructions are guidelines. Some variation may be required depending
on the mower deck. Please read and understand the directions before assembly.
