ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
WARNING:
Shut off all engines and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop
on the wing mowers and on the tow vehicle before adjusting the cutting height.
The cutting height can be adjusted in a range from 1.0" to 4.0". This is accomplished by adjusting
the height adjusting bolts on each of the four corners of the wing mower.
See Figure 7
. Turn the
bolts clockwise to raise the mower cutting height and counter-clockwise to lower the mower
cutting height.
When more than one mower is used at a time, it is very important to have all the mowers adjusted
as close to the same cutting height as possible to obtain a high quality cutting job.
Adjust the mowers as follows:
1. Pull the mowing unit on to a smooth, level surface.
2. Adjust the tow vehicle mower deck (If applicable) to the desired cutting height and level both
fore and aft and side to side.
3. Measure the distance from the level surface to the mower blade cutting edge on the tow
vehicle.
DANGER:
Shut off tow vehicle engine and allow mower blades to stop completely before
attempting to measure the cutting height.
