Center and Wing Section Leveling
These adjustments should be made with your cutter
hooked up to the same tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height.
Adjust leveling rods as described below.
Refer to Figure 2-1 & Figure 2-2:
1.
Attach cutter to tractor and position it on level ground.
2.
Raise wing to locked position.
3.
Using hydraulic lift, adjust center deck height so that
the front skids (#2) are 2 to 3 inches above ground.
4.
Measure right and left hand sides of the center section
from ground line to center line of hinge rods (#1). The
hinge rods should be 1” closer to the ground at the
front than they are at the back. If they are not, loosen
both jam nuts (#3) and rotate adjusting nuts (#4) at the
same time until the right and left hand sides are
inclined from front to back by 1”.
5.
Be sure that both sides are equal distance from
ground line to center line of hinge rod and that left and
right leveling rods have equal tension. Re-tighten jam
nut (#3).
6.
Lower wing to ground position. Wing section will need
adjusting if wing top deck sheet is not level with center
top deck sheet. Level wing by loosening jam nut (#5)
NOTE: Lengthening leveling rods with adjusting
nuts (#4) will lower the front of the cutter.
and rotating adjusting turnbuckle (#6) until right wing
is level with center section. Re-tighten jam nut (#5).
