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 in position and allow the tailwheel to rest at ground level. Align tailwheel beam between nearest sets of holes in beam support brackets and reinstall support bolts on each side of beam. 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 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 pre-adjusted cut height is required. See Check Chains in the Assembly Section for this accessory.

7.2 Setting Deck Pitch

To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower should be operated with the deck approximately

3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.

Setting Deck Pitch-Lift and Semi-Mount Type

1.Lower the mower until the rear of the mower is resting securely on its tail wheel.

2.Lower the 3-point lift arms further until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower than the rear.

3.Place the tractor’s 3-point control lever stop at this point to maintain the deck pitch.
