IMPORTANT: Linch pins should always be inserted into the gauge wheel spindle pin holes from the front so that the locking clasp is flipped shut over the spindle towards the back. Attaching the pin in this manner will prevent vegetation from catching on the clasp and flipping it open while traveling forward.

5.After making height adjustments, always replace linch pins by inserting them into the gauge wheel spindle pin holes from the front to keep from loosing the pins and gauge wheels.

6.Lower the mower to the field position making sure all fold cylinders are fully extended.

Refer to Figure 3-3:

7.Adjust front of center deck height to match height at rear of center deck:

a.Attach jack stand to jack mount located in front of the center gearbox channel. Make sure stand is secured with attachment pin.

b.Screw jack out to lift front of mower deck and in to lower deck front.

c.Place same number and thickness of c-spacers below the spindle tube as what was placed below the rear gauge wheel spindle tubes.

d.There is a groove in the carrier rod for adding or removing c-spacers. Turn the c-spacer so that the open end will slide in or off the groove as needed.

e.Remove jack stand and return it to the storage tube located in front of the divider gearbox.

f.Place additional c-spacers above metal spindle tubes.

8.Take measurements from the same location on all three decks to make sure they are at the same cutting heights.

9.Additional fine tuning adjustments may be needed after a test mowing run.

Belt Tension

Refer to Refer to Figure 3-4:

!CAUTION!

Belt drive system under spring tension; use care to avoid bodily harm!

1.To check tension apply force at arrow “Awith a tension tester and deflect the belt 1/4". The force required to get this deflection should range from 7 to 10 lbs.

2.To adjust belt tension, adjust eyebolt (#1), as necessary. This adjustment will increase or decrease tension on the spring (#2).

3.If eyebolt (#1) does not provide enough adjustment to get the proper tension, then reconnect chain (#3) to a different length. All chain tension must be removed at the eyebolt nut before readjusting the chain.

4.Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of belt and drive components. Excessive tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders. Not enough tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of the belt due to excessive slipping.
