mount lift cylinder (#2) in the bottom hole as shown.
Mount lift cylinder in top hole (A) when the cutter is
supplied with 29" tires. When supplied with tires larger
than 29", overall ground clearance can be increased by
putting the lift cylinder in the bottom hole as shown, but
lower cutting height ranges will be sacrificed.
