Deck Leveling

Figure 3-1

1.Use the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point control to lower the cutter until the tailwheel contacts ground surface.

2.Place a level or other suitable leveling device on the front of the cutter deck as shown in Figure 3-1. Adjust either one or both of the tractors lower link height adjustments to level the deck from left to right. Some tractors have only a single adjusting crank.

3.Similarly, place a level on either of the main deck. Use the tractors 3-point hydraulic control to level the cutter deck from front to rear.

!DANGER

Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor and remove key before proceeding. Ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop before dismounting from the tractor.

!CAUTION

Wear a pair of gloves when performing this operation. Go to the back of the cutter and carefully rotate each blade to the position shown in Figure 3-2. Avoid direct contact with the cutting edge of the blade.

Nominal Cutting Height

Measure the distance from the end (cutting tip) of the blade to the ground surface. This distance is the nominal cutting height. Refer to Figure 3-2.
