5.Set the parking brake and turn off tractor. Remove key from ignition.
6.Adjust the tractor top link in or out to place the upper hitch pin vertically above the lower hitch pin as shown in Figure
7.Rotate blades in line with direction of travel.
8.Measure the clearance from the cutting edge to the ground at front and rear of the blade. This measurement should be equal or have the blade at the front of the mower not more than 1/2" lower than the blade at the rear of the mower.
Cutting Height Adjustment
1.Using the tractor, raise the mower off the ground and support under it with secure blocking so not to let the mower drift down during maintenance.
2.Holding wheel and yoke assembly up, remove quick- lock pin from top of gauge wheel spindle. Position full length spacers and half spacer as required. All spacers on top of spindle tube allows for approximately 1" cutting height. Adjustments range from 1" to a maximum of 5 1/2" in 1/2" increments. Refer to “Leveling The Mower” page 14.
!CAUTION
Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and disengage PTO before making any height adjustments!
Belt Tension
Refer to Figure
!CAUTION
Belt drive system under spring tension; use care to avoid bodily harm!
1.To check tension apply force at arrow A. With a tension tester and deflect the belt 1/4". The force required to get this deflection should range from 7 to 10 lbs.
2.To adjust belt tension, adjust eyebolt (#1), as necessary. This adjustment will increase or decrease the tension on spring (#2).
3.Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of belt and drive components. Excessive tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders. Not enough tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of the belt due to excessive slipping.
4.Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of belt and drive components. Excessive tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders.
