6. After making height adjustments, always replace
linchpins by inserting them into the gauge wheel
spindle pin holes from the front to keep from loosing
the pins and gauge wheels.
7.
Lower the mower to the field position making sure all
fold cylinders are fully extended.
Refer to Figure 2-4:
8. Adjust front of center deck height to match height at
rear of center deck:
a. Attach jack stand to jack mount located in front of
the center gearbox channel. Make sure stand is
secured with attachment pin.
b. Screw jack out to lift front of mower deck and in to
lower deck front.
c. Place same number and thickness of c-spacers
below the spindle tube as what was placed below
the rear gauge wheel spindle tubes.
d. There is a groove in the carrier rod for adding or
removing c-spacers. Turn the c-spacer so that the
open end will slide in or off the groove as needed.
e. Remove jack stand and return it to the storage
tube located in front of the divider gearbox.
f. Place additional c-spacers above metal spindle
tubes.
IMPORTANT:
Linchpins should always be inserted
into the gauge wheel spindle from the front with the
locking clasp flipped shut over the spindle toward the
back. Attaching the pin in this manner will prevent
vegetation from catching on the clasp and flipping it
IMPORTANT:
Slide-on spacers are 1/2" thick. Use
two 1/2" slide-on spacers at the front of the rear deck
for every 1" spacer used at the back of the rear deck.
9. Take measurements at the same location on all three
decks to verify they are all at the same cutting height.
10. Additional fine tuning adjustments may be needed
after a test mowing run.
