DECK LEVELING
1.Park the machine on a smooth, level surface. Raise the deck to the transport position.
2.Lower the deck onto a set of equal height blocks A under the rear corners of the deck. Place an- other set of blocks B under the front of the deck so that the deck top is pitched forward 1/8".
NOTE: The front and rear of the deck are at different heights.
3.Measure the height of the blade cutting edge above the ground. Remove pin C and set the height of cut lever D to that height.
4.Loosen nuts I at all four corners of the deck. NOTE: This will relieve tension on chains H.
5.Loosen the jam nuts E on the height of cut
clips F and adjusting screws G. Turn the adjust- ing screws G until the play is taken out of the chains H at all four corners. Tighten the jam nuts E against the clips F and at the adjusting screws G. Retighten nuts I at this time.
6.COUNTERBALANCE SPRINGS
a)Raise the cutterdeck all the way.
b)Adjust the spring A with nut B:
Approximately 1" of threads should be extending past the spring mounting bracket at nut B.
The springs may be tightened or loosened from this point according to personal preference.
