Front gauge wheel interference check.
Do not operate the mower until this interference check has been performed. If you use the mower
with a different tractor, you must perform the check for that particular mounting again.
1. Raise the mower with the tractor hydraulic system to the maximum height of lift.
2. Pivot both of the mower front gauge wheels forward and check that there is clearance between
the gauge wheels and the tractor
’s rear tires.
3. If there is interference, lower the mower to the ground and move hitch to the extended position
(see assembly chapter).
4. Move the tractor tires inward to obtain clearance or lower the mower until clearance exists.
5. Set the 3-point quadrant stop so the mower cannot be raised beyond the set point. See figure 5.

PTO shaft groove.
WARNING!
Before operating the mower check to make sure the driveline will not bottom out or
become disengaged. See figure 6.
