Check Chains (Extra Equipment) for Lift-Models (Figure Asm-0011)
Check Chains are available for attachment to front of Mower as an accessory. Check chains are used to control cutting height and especially allow Mower to be lowered to the same preset cutting height effortlessly.
Install lower end of check chain (4) to hitch ears (6) through lower holes (7) using bolts, nuts and lockwashers(8). Tighten securely.
Install chain lugs (3) on either side of tractor top link mounting (5) using bolt or pin of required diameter and length. Cat I kit requires a 3/4" diameter bolt. Cat II kit requires a 1" diameter bolt. Install top end of check chains in brackets (3).
Cutting height is then set by placing proper chain link in keyhole slot. Cutting height is easily adjustable by hooking chain higher or lower in the keyholes in chain lug (3).
For additional safety in transport, raise mower as high as possible without having driveline hit deck and shorten check chains as much as possible to prevent inadvertent falling in transport.
Offset Adapter Hitch - Extra Equipment (Figure Asm-0010)
1.Fasten the Offset Adapter Hitch Weldment to the lift lugs using the Hitch Pin holes. Fasten the Adjustable Leg to the left side lug if the Cutter is to offset to the left. The Cutter will make a cleaner cut behind the wheel tracks if it is offset to the left. Reverse the Assembly for right offset.
2.Install the Brace Bars. Fasten the chain end to the rear mounting hole in the Gearbox Base Plate. Adjust the Brace Bar so the Hitch Assembly is nearly perpendicular.
3.Attach the Cutter to the tractor. Install stabilizer bars or adjust sway chains to prevent side sway of the Cutter.
