Alamo RX96 manual Setting Deck Pitch-Lift and Semi-Mount Type, Setting Deck Pitch-Pull Type

OPERATION

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.

7.3Setting 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.

Setting Deck Pitch-Lift and Semi-Mount Type

1.Lower the mower until the rear of the mower is resting securely on its tail wheel.

2.Lower the 3-point lift arms further until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower than the rear.

3.Place the tractor’s 3-point control lever stop at this point to maintain the deck pitch.

Setting Deck Pitch-Pull Type

1.Adjust the leveling rod linking the tongue to the rear axle until the front of the mower is at least

3/4” lower than the rear. To lower the front, lengthen the leveling rod and to raise the front, shorten the lev- eling rod.

Operating the mower with the front of the deck slightly lower than the rear allows 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 angle. OPS-R-0002_E
