OPERATION

The mower’s cutting height is set by positioning the roller assembly for each mower section. Each section must be set at the same height to ensure an even cut across the entire width of the mower.

1.Place the tractor and mower on a level surface and completely lower the mower to the ground.

2.Shut down the tractor, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before dismounting.

3.One section at a time, place lifting device (scissors jack or hydraulic jack) under center of cutter housing.

4.Remove hex nuts, washers and carriage bolts from bracket at each end of roller. Make certain that roller bracket is free to move once the fasteners are removed. A stuck roller could drop unexpectedly and cause injury.

5.Use lifting device to reposition cutter housing to desired cutting height. Align bracket holes with cutter housing, then reinstall hardware.

6.Lower cutter housing to the ground and remove lifting device.

7.Set cutting height according to procedures above for remaining two cutter sections. Make sure that all three rollers are set at the

same height to ensure a even cut across the entire width of the mower.
