LEVELING WING SECTIONS WITH CENTER
To level the wing sections with the deck center, adjust the leveling screw between the wing axle and the center axle. To lower the wing, loosen the jamnut and shorten the screw assembly, lengthen the screw assembly to raise the wing. After wings are leveled, retighten jamnuts to maintain settings.
5.2 Setting Deck Pitch
Lower Horse Power - Better Fuel Efficiency
To increase fuel efficiency and lower horsepower requirements for mower operation, the mower should be operated with the deck approximately 3/
4" LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR. Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the mower to cut the grass only once and requires less work from the tractor.
Increase Mulching
To increase mulching of the grass or crop material during mower operation, the mower should be operated with the deck approximately 3/4" HIGHER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the mower to cut the grass twice and can result in a more even cut and improved distribution of the cut material.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been set.
