ADJUSTMENTS
FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT
For best cutting results, the cutter deck should be
parallel to the ground. To check parallel adjustment,
measure the distance from the bottom edge of the
deck in both the front and rear of the deck. This
adjustment is best done while the tow vehicle and
Rough Cutter are attached together.
Adjust as needed using the adjustment screw of top
link (item 1)
CUTTER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There is approximately 4” of height adjustment.
Adjust the height with the knob for the height control
on the control box.
Dense areas should be cut in two pass.
TOW HITCH OFFSET
Offset the cutter to the side opposite the discharge of
the tow vehicle
It is recommended if the tow vehicle is equipped with
a mid
-
mount mower to overlap the cut approximately
6”. This may vary depending on mowing terrain,
obstacles, and/or tow vehicle. Always keep safety the
first priority.
Always keep the tow vehicle cutter raised higher than
the Trail Cutter.
To offset:
Remove pin with hair pin 4mm (item 1).
Angle hitch bar (item 2) to align with appropriate hole.
Lock in place by inserting pin with hair pin 4mm
desired hole.
Verify that the rear hitch bar of the equipment
does not come into contact with the wheels of
the vehicle.
WARNING
STOP THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE
SPARK PLUG CABLE(S) BEFORE DOING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS ON THE ROUGH CUTTER.
