When the cutting height is set, adjust tractor top link until mower top link attachment point (A) is aligned ver- tically with mower hitch pin (B), Figure 7.

Adjust tractor top link so mower is level between caster wheel and ground (dimension C), Figure 8. This will allow the mower to follow ground contour.

The mower has three lower hitch plate attachment points (D), Figure 7. It may be necessary to change the mower hitch plate attachment point to obtain proper tire clearance and/or lift height.
