OPERATION

DRIVELINE LENGTH

Raise mower to full transport or until driveline just hits deck at front. If distance between colored tape and outer

shield tube is 1-9/16 or less, drive tubes should be shortened per Figure 3.

Always maintain 1-9/16 clearance when operated in shortest working position. Shorten inner and outer guard tubes equally. Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the same amount that the shield tubes were shortened. Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs. Grease sliding profiles. Figure 3.

1-9/16"

FIGURE 3

Lower mower to lowest position possible. Check distance from colored tape to end outer shield tube. Driveline tube engagement must always exceed 12 inches. If not consult dealer to obtain longer driv- eline.

FRONT GAUGE WHEEL INTERFERENCE CHECK

Do not operate mower until this interference check has been performed. If you change tractors, you must perform the check for that mounting.

Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to maximum height of tractor lift.

Pivot both front gauge wheels forward and check that there is clearance between gauge wheels and tractor tires.

Move tractor tires inward to obtain clearance or lower mower until clearance exists. Set 3-Point quadrant stop so mower cannot be raised beyond set point. FIGURE 4.
