Figure 2. Lock Collar

3" - desired cutting height

+5.5 - distance blade cutting edge is below deck = 8.5

c.Adjust the front-to-rear attitude from 1/2" to 3/4" higher than the front or from 9" to 9-1/4" at the rear.

Before working underneath, disconnect drive- line, raise cutter, and block cutter securely. Hydrau- lic system leak down and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

■Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a cutter can encounter. Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to cutter and drive.

SHREDDING

For shredding, set the cutter lower at rear. Determine how much lower to set the rear by experimenting in dif- ferent situations.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1.Level cutter from side to side. Check by measuring from cutter frame to the ground at each deck rail.

2.Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.

NOTE: Keep the front of cutter slightly lower than rear for best mowing.

3.Control cutting height with tractor 3-point arms, rear tailwheel adjustment.

4.To raise rear of cutter, move tailwheel arm down.

5.To raise front of cutter, raise tractor 3-point arms.

The cutting height is the distance between the blade and the ground. The blades are approxi- mately 5.5" below the deck. To check cutting height, do the following:

a.Place a straight edge along top edge of deck.

b.Select a cutting height; as an example, for an approximate cutting height of 3", set the center of the deck 8.5" above the ground.

TOP LINK ADJUSTMENT (FIGURE 3)

1.To mount tractor top link, use lowest hole provided in the tractor’s top link attachment bracket.

2.Select a top link mounting pin that will swing through the cutter A-frame bars and attach rear portion of tractor top link in the first hole of cutter floating link.

3.Raise cutter to transport position and adjust tractor top link until cutter is level in the raised position.

NOTE: Some tractors are equipped with a short top link. If you cannot adjust the cutter level using the middle hole in the cutter floating link, use the front hole and adjust the cutter level in the trans- port position.

NOTICE

■With cutter adjusted to transport position, set upper stop on tractor lift quadrant to prevent cutter from contacting the driveline when being raised.

■Select a top link pin (maximum length 3-5/8") that will allow floating link to swing freely through the cutter A-frame bars.
