5.
Level the mower side to side by manipulating
one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at
least one of the lift arms is designed to allow
for manipulation of its length. Shortening or
extending will allow for deck leveling from
side to side.
6.
Securely block up the mower at this height.
7.
Remove the bolts securing the tailwheel
beam support brackets and allow the
tailwheels) to rest at ground level. Align beam
and positioning bracket holes with closest set
of holes in support brackets and reinstall
securing the beam(s) in position. Tighten all
bolts and nuts.
8.
Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that
when lifting the mower, the front of the deck
will raise 2 to 2½" before the tail wheel(s)
leaves the ground. This will allow the mower
to follow the contour of uneven terrain.
Note:
Install optional check chains when there is a
problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a
set height or when a constant preadjusted cut
height is required. See Check Chains in the
Assembly Section for this accessory.
7.2 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type and Semi-Mount Type Mowers
1.
Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2.
Using the ratchet jack or hydraulic cylinder,
position the mower so the skid shoes are 1”
less off the ground than the desired final cut
height. For example, if a 3” cut is desired,
raise or lower the mower until the skid shoes
are 2” off the ground. If a hydraulic cylinder is
used, stroke control spacers can be placed
on the hydraulic shaft to maintain a set
cutting height each time the mower is raised
and lowered.
3.
Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the
front of the mower is approximately 3/4” lower
than the rear.
