Leveling Wing Decks
Figure 2-5
Wing Deck Leveling
Refer to Figure 2-5:
Each wing section will need adjusting if wing top is not
level with center deck top when wings are unfolded.
1. With tractor hydraulics, lower wings down. Refer to
on page 35 for instructions on how to
lower the wing.
2. Pull cutter straight forward six to ten feet to allow
outer wing wheels to properly align themselves.
3. Check wing tops to see if they are level with the top of
the center deck. If the outer edge of either wing top is
higher or lower than the center deck, then that wing
should be leveled as follows:
a.
If outer wing edge is higher
than the center
deck, loosen jam nut (#1) and rotate
turnbuckle (#2) counterclockwise to lower outer
wing edge until wing is level. Tighten jam nut (#1)
to the correct torque when level.
b.
If outer wing edge is lower
than the center deck,
loosen jam nut (#1) and rotate turnbuckle (#2)
clockwise to raise outer wing edge until wing is
level. Tighten jam nut (#1) to the correct torque
when level.
Adjust Deck Cutting Height
Refer to Figure 2-6:
1. At the cutting site, unfold wings and raise center deck
fully up with lift cylinder (#1).
2. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
3. Remove all stroke control spacers (#4) from center
hydraulic lift cylinder (#1) by spreading them apart at
the break line. Store spacers in a location they can be
retrieved.

NOTE:
Make all cutting height adjustments in the
field using height of cut grass/material as a guide.
Do not measure blade height above ground as the
non-operating blade height will be different than the
operating blade height.
Set Deck Height With Stroke Control Spacers
Figure 2-6
4. Start tractor and engage blades. See instructions for
5. Using tractor control lever, adjust cutter to the desired
cutting height and then travel forward for
approximately 20 to 50 feet.
6. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
7. Measure height of cut grass/material. This distance
is the cutting height. If this height is acceptable,
continue with step 8. If this height is unacceptable,
repeat steps 4-7 until desired cutting height is
achieved.
8. Select required size and number of stroke control
spacers (#4) that will fit on the center hydraulic
cylinder rod. The following spacers are available.
•
(#1): Two 1" spacers
•
(#2): One 1 1/4" spacer
•
(#3): One 1 1/2" spacer
•
(#4): One 1 3/4" spacer
9. Return to the tractor and raise Rotary Cutter up
again.
10. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
11. With tractor shut off and switch key removed, install
selected stroke control spacers on the center
hydraulic lift cylinder rod.
12. Restart tractor and lower cutter against stroke control
spacers.
13. Recheck cutting height in steps 4-7. If needed, adjust
size and quantity of stroke control spacers until
desired cutting height is achieved.
14. Keep remaining spacers with tractor for field
adjustments.

NOTE:
Removing spacers lowers cutting height and
adding spacers raises cutting height.
