OPERATION

5.Level the mower side to side by manipulating one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at least one of the lift arms is designed to allow for manipulation of its length. Shortening or extending will allow for deck leveling from side to side. .

6.Securely block up the mower at this height.

7.Remove the bolts securing the tailwheel beam support brackets and allow the tailwheel(s) to rest at ground level. Align beam and positioning bracket holes with closest set of holes in support brackets and reinstall securing the beam(s) in position. Tighten all bolts and nuts.

8.Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will raise 2 to 2½" before the tail wheel(s) leaves the ground. This will allow the mower to follow the contour of uneven terrain.

Note: Install optional check chains when there is a problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a set height or when a constant preadjusted cut height is required. See check chains in the Assembly Section for equipping the tractor and mower with this accessory.

6.2 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type

1.Park the tractor and mower on level ground.

2.Using the tailwheel rachet jack or hydraulic cylinder, position the mower so the skid shoes are 1” less off the ground than the desired final cut height. For example, if a 3” cut is desired, raise or lower the mower until the skid shoes are 2” off the ground. If a hydraulic cylinder is used, stroke control spacers can be placed on the hydraulic shaft to maintain a set cutting height each time the mower is raised and lowered..

3.Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the front of the mower is approximately 3/4” lower that the rear.
