Level Cutter Decks
These adjustments should be made with your cutter
hooked to the tractor operating the unit or to a tractor
having the same drawbar height.
Center Deck Leveling
Refer to Figure 2-3 & Figure 2-4:
1. Attach cutter to tractor and position it on level ground.
2. Raise both wings up and lock into position with
transport locks to keep wings from falling.
3. Using hydraulic lift, adjust center deck height so that
the front skids (#5) are 2 to 3 inches above ground.
4. Without changing deck height, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting. Refer to
5. On both sides of the center deck are continuous
hinges (#1). Measure distance from bottom of hinges
to ground at the front and back. They should be equal
distance off the ground at the back and 1" closer to
the ground at the front than they are at the back.
If continuous hinges are too high at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#2) several turns.
b. Unscrew adjusting nuts (#4) an equal amount to
lower front of cutter until both hinges are inclined
from front to back by 1” with the front being closer
to the ground than the back.
NOTE:
Loosening adjusting nuts (#4) will lengthen
leveling rods and lower front of cutter. Tightening
adjusting nuts (#4) will shorten leveling rods and
raise front of cutter.
If continuous hinges are too low at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#2).
b. Tighten adjusting nuts (#4) an equal amount to
raise front of cutter until both hinges are inclined
from front to back by 1” with the front being closer
to the ground than the back.
6. Be sure left and right leveling rods have equal
amounts of tension and then re-tighten jam nuts (#2)
against lock washers (#3) and adjusting nuts (#4).
