Lift Rod Adjustment

In the fully raised position the blade should be 4”-5” off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod should compress the spring creating downward pressure on the blade.

LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1.Fully raise the attachment lift. The attachment should be approximately 4”-5” off the ground. If not, go to step 2.

2.Lower the attachment and adjust the front set collar (A, Figure 6) to achieve the correct lift height.

DOWNWARD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

1.Place the lift in the fully raised position.

2.Slide the spring (C, Figure 6) forward so it is against the front set collar (A). Slide the rear set collar (D) up against the back of the spring. Use the rear set collar to compress the spring slightly, then tighten the set screw.

IMPORTANT NOTE

DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRING. In addition to providing downward pressure, the spring is an elastic medium that absorbs shocks caused by bumps and cracks in ground surfaces. Over-compressing the spring defeats this and may cause damage to the unit.
