6.2 Setting Deck Pitch

To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower should be operated with the deck approximately

3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.

Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the mower to cut the grass only once and requires less work from the tractor. In addition, a more even distribution of the clippings from the rear of the mower will be achieved with this deck pitch.

Adjust the leveling rods linking the tongue to the rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower in the front that than the rear. To lower the front, lengthen the leveling rods and to raise the front shorten the leveling rods. IMPORTANT: Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and

maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been set. OPS-R-0002

6.3 Lowest Cutting Height

NOTE: Only operate in the lower position when you are mowing in an agricultural application, be sure there are no bystanders, passerby or livestock with in 300 feet. .

To achieve the lowest possible cutting height, raise the side skirt from the upper set of holes to the lower set of holes shown in Figure Op-245

Never crawl under a raised Implement supported solely by the Tractor 3-Point hitch. Release of the control lever or mechanical failure will result in the Implement falling and possible injury or death. Always securely block up the Implement before crawling underneath to perform repairs and service. (S3PT-19)
