Driveline Interference Check

1.Check for clearance between driveline and cutter deck.

2.Slowly lift cutter and observe driveline. If clearance between driveline and cutter deck is less than 1 inch, shorten top link or limit upper travel of lower hitch arms. Refer to tractor operator's manual for instructions.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

On pull-type or semi-mounted units with optional hydraulic cutting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended

length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

Cutting height range is from 2" to 13". A hydraulic cylin- der or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust- ment.

When selecting a cutting height, you should consider the area of operation. If the ground is rolling and has mounds the blades could contact, set the cutting height accordingly.

NOTICE

Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking ground with blades produces one of the most dam- aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gear- boxes will be damaged.

Pull-Type Units

To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately 1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4" equals the cutting height.

Using any of the optional cutting height mechanisms, raise or lower the tailwheel and set position A to 2-1/4" to achieve a 4" cutting height.

Loosen the jam nut on the attitude rod that runs from the tongue to the tailwheel. Adjust rod in or out until position B is approximately 1/2 inch more than position A. Refer to Figure 8.

Figure 8. Cutting Height Adjustment

Mounted & Semi-Mounted Units

To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately 1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4" equals the cutting height.

Adjust the tractor 3-point hitch to a distance of 2-1/4" at position A to obtain a 4" cutting height. See Figure 8.

Using any of the optional height adjustment devices, raise or lower the tailwheel to obtain 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 inches at position B.
