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

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.

If there is interference, you must move hitch pin to extended position (See assembly section). 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 5.
