STEP 7:  Secure Transfer Shaft to Gear Box Shaft 
using two screws. See Figure 5. Tighten securely. 
STEP 8:  Place a 2x4 under each rear caster. Block the 
front caster wheels so that they will not roll. 
STEP 9:  Locate jam nuts on the right timing rod and 
the right rear deck hanger rod. See Figures 6 and 12. 
Note position of nuts. You must return both nuts to this

STEP 10:  Run each (2) jam nut up against the swivels 
on the timing rod and the hanger rod. The deck linkage 
will not float when the nuts are in this position. This will 
allow the use of the electric actuator on the deck to lift 
and attach the deck frame to the power unit. 
STEP 11:
  Located on the hitch plates at the front of the 
Power Unit, rotate the Spring-Loaded Hitch Latch Pins to 
the unlatched position. See Figure 7. 
STEP 12:  Engage Parking Brake. Start Power Unit.
