!CAUTION

Disengage PTO, engage parking brake, shut off tractor, and remove key before making any adjustments!

Mower Chute

This mower is equipped with an adjustable grass discharge chute. Adjustments can be made by loosening the bolts on the front and rear of mower chute. With the mower chute in the raised operating position, grass is expelled away from the mower for a more even distribution of grass clippings. Lowering the mower chute will decrease the distance the grass is discharged from the mower.

!DANGER

DO NOT in any condition operate mower with chute removed

Floating & Front To

Back Hitch Adjustments

The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been designed for front to back flotation when mowing on uneven terrain. The lower 3-point hitch blocks also are adjustable from front to back for additional field float and tractor clearance. The lower hitch blocks and top link rear braces can be adjusted front to back as shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2, Middle Position Floating Hitch Adjustment, in lFigure 3-2. Deviation from the 3 setting will limit field float.

NOTE: Positioning the Upper Hitch Arms and Lower Hitch Lugs to the back setting shortens overall tractor/ mower length allowing tighter turns and increasing lifting power.
