Alamo A96B, FC-0015, FC-0016, 00761808C manual Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type

OPERATION

OPERATION

8.Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will raise 2 to 2½” before the tail wheel(s) leaves the ground. This will allow the mower to follow the contour of uneven terrain.

Note: Install optional check chains when there is a problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a set height or when a constant pre adjusted cut height is required. See Check Chains in the Assembly Section for this accessory.

6.2 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type

1.Park the tractor and mower on level ground.

2.Using the tailwheel racket jack or hydraulic cylinder, position the mower so the skid shoes are 1” less off the ground than the desired final cut height. For example, if a 3” cut is desired, raise or lower the mower until the skid shoes are 2” off the ground. If a hydraulic cylinder is used, stroke control spacers can be placed on the hydraulic shaft to maintain a set cutting height each time the mower is raised and lowered.

3.Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the front of the mower is approximately 3/4” lower that the rear.

4.If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the hitch and mower from swaying from side to side. Never raise the 3- point lift with the mower attached as catastrophic driveline damage will occur.
