COMPONENTS
(01)CUTTING DECK DELS3000002022A
The cutting deck on the Lane Shark LS-3 is the main platform
that supports the rotating assembly and most adjustment components
on the LS-3. When in the home position, all adjustment components are
mounted on top of the deck including the Spindle Mounting Plate (03),
Kickstand (04), Adjustment Hinge (05), Main Adjustment Arm (06), Main
Arm Support (10), and the Tower Locks (13). Mounted in the center of the
deck there is a .25 thick plate with a 4.5 inch hole, this is where the motor
mounts through the deck. This is called the Spindle Mounting Plate (03).
Closely surrounding the center hole are six mounting holes, these are for the
spindle to be mounted to the deck of the LS-3. Approximately 9 inches on
either side of the motor are two 90 degree angle iron deck supports (A&B)
that run front to back of the LS-3 and are approximately 24 inches in length.
(Facing the unit) The left deck support (A) is supplied with a bracket (C)
for the Kickstand (04) to connect once the LS-3 is in the vertical and oset
positions. The right deck support (B) is mounted to the Main Adjustment
Hinge (05) which allows the LS-3 to pivot into the vertical and oset
positions while maintaining attachment to the Mounting Plate (02).
