C.ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off all engines and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop on the wing mowers and on the tow vehicle before adjusting the cutting height.
The cutting height can be adjusted in a range from 1.0" to 4.0". This is accomplished by adjusting the height adjusting bolts on each of the four corners of the wing mower. See Figure 7. Turn the bolts clockwise to raise the mower cutting height and
When more than one mower is used at a time, it is very important to have all the mowers adjusted as close to the same cutting height as possible to obtain a high quality cutting job.
Adjust the mowers as follows:
1.Pull the mowing unit on to a smooth, level surface.
2.Adjust the tow vehicle mower deck (If applicable) to the desired cutting height and level both fore and aft and side to side.
3.Measure the distance from the level surface to the mower blade cutting edge on the tow vehicle.
Shut off tow vehicle engine and allow mower blades to stop completely before attempting to measure the cutting height.
