MOWER Assembly, Installation & Maintenance Instructions for the 42" Lawn Mower Deck 5

To Assemble the Lawn Mower Deck

Tools & Supplies Needed:

• Pliers

• Hammer

• ½" socket or wrench

Mount the Front Caster Wheels

Mount the caster wheels on the front arms of the deck

frame as shown in Figure 1.

• Insert the 4 black castor bushings into the top and

bottom of the lawn deck frame for both castors.

You may need to tap the bushings in with a hammer

(Figure 2).

• Push the cotter pin as far as it will go as shown

(Figure 2).

• Hold the tire with one hand to keep the axle from

turning while bending the legs of the cotter pins

with pliers.

WARNING! If you remove the cotter pins, replace them with new ones 1/4" in

diameter and 1-1/2" long. Repeated straightening and bending will break the cotter pins

at the bend, and may cause the caster wheels to come off during operation causing severe

damage or possible injury.
