Section 3: Adjustments

Center and Wing Section Leveling

These adjustments should be made with the cutter hooked up to the same tractor that will be used for field operations or one having the same drawbar height. Cutter adjusting rods are set at the factory prior to shipment. The adjusting rods control the draw bar height at the hitch clevis.

Refer to Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2& Figure 3-3:

1.Attach the cutter to the tractor and position it on level ground.

2.Raise both wings to locked position.

3.See Figure 3-1.Using the hydraulic lift, adjust the height of the center deck to 2-3 inch clearance between the front skids (#2) and ground surface.
