Section 2: Adjustments

Deck Leveling with

Optional Gauge Wheel

Refer to Figure 2-4:

WARNING

Disengage hydraulics, lower unit until resting on the ground,

set park brake, properly shut down Skid Steer (See Skid Steer

Operator’s Manual for shut-down instructions), shut engine

off, relieve hydraulic pressure to the attached implement,

remove switch key, and wait for rotating parts to come to a

complete stop before dismounting from skid steer.

IMPORTANT:

The blades should be positioned to

cut material only at the front of the cutter. If deck is

level or back of cutter is lower than the front, then the

blades are subject to continuous material flow

resulting in horsepower loss, high blade wear, and

frequent blade sharpening.

NOTE: Nominal Cutting Height

is the distance

from bottom of cutter blade to ground level at the

front of the cutter. Subtract 1 1/2" from Nominal

Cutting Height to determine distance (A). Distance

(A) is measured from bottom of front skid shoes to

ground level.

1. Park Skid Steer with cutter on a level surface.
2. Adjust ratchet jack to raise gauge wheel up until it is

even with bottom of front skid shoes.

3. Use Skid Steer hydraulics to lower Skid Steer lift

arms and to tilt cutter hitch plate angle until bottom of

skid shoe at the front deck corner is dimension (A) off

the ground and the rear deck corner is slightly higher

off the ground than the front deck corner.

4. Adjust ratchet jack to lower gauge wheel until it is at

ground level.

5. With gauge wheel at ground level, use Skid Steer

hydraulics to adjust cutter hitch plate angle until the

float chain sags.

Cutter Hitch Plate

Ground Level

Nominal Cutting Height is the

distance from bottom of the

front leading cutting blade to

ground level.

The rear deck corner should be raised

slightly higher above ground level than

the front deck corner.

37997

“A” is 1 1/2" less than Nominal Cutting Height
and is the distance from bottom of Skid Shoe

at the front deck corner to ground level.

Float Chain should sag when gauge wheel is

resting on level ground. Adjust hitch plate tilt

angle to put a sag in the Float Chain.
