CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WITH- OUT CASTERS

Mower cutting height is raised, lowered and maintained using tractor hydraulics and lift chains. Proper lift chain adjustment is essential. The chains must be adjusted so that tractor lift arms are in their highest position before the lift or any part of mower is within 1/4" of con- tacting tractor or mower lift stops. Improper lift chain adjustment could result in damage to lift mechanism or tractor.

Adjustment is accomplished by lowering lift arms and inserting lift chains into keyhole lift lugs. Raise the mower, checking to ensure it does not contact any part of tractor. Take up links, one or two at a time, until the desired height is obtained.

There is a long and short slot in the rear lift lugs. Level mower by using these slots as needed.

After setting upper lift limit, lower mower to desired cut- ting height. Set lower stop of mower hydraulic control lever at this point. This will allow you to raise the mower when necessary and return to the pre-set cutting height.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WITH CASTERS

The caster arm has five holes for adjustment. Cutting height is adjusted by changing the adjustment bracket hole alignment with the caster arm.

There are two holes on the frame rail to mount the caster arm. Use the rear hole for settings up to 3". Use the front hole for settings above 3".

Whenever adjustments are made to the casters, care- fully raise mower to ensure casters do not come in con- tact with any part of tractor. Should any interference occur, readjust lift chains.

Set lower stop of tractor hydraulic control lever to pre- vent chains rubbing belt.

IMPORTANT

■Be sure lift chains do not interfere with drive belt.

■Always raise mower off casters when backing up and turning at the same time to prevent casters from locking up on front tires.
