6.1 Setting Cutting Height
The cut height for the center section is set by
extending or shortening the depth collar located on
the center lift cylinder.
The cutter should always be operated in the
highest position that will produce the desired
cutting results. Operating at increased heights will
minimize the chances of blades contacting the
ground and discharging debris.
1. Place the tractor and cutter on a level surface
and lower wing sections.
2. Extend or retract the center section main
hydraulic lift cylinder to the desired cutting
height.
3. Shut down the tractor, place the transmission
in park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting.
4. Adjust the center section hydraulic cylinder
depth stop collar to set the cutting height so
that the cylinder returns to the preset cutting
height each time the mower is lowered. It
might be necessary to use spacer rings (not
provided) with the depth stop collar in order to
preset the mower for higher cutting heights.
6.2 Leveling Wing
1. The center section height should be set before
adjusting the wing sections. Make sure the
tractor is completely shut down, the cutter is
completely lowered, and the cutter and tractor
are secured in position.
2. To set the wing section height loosen the jam
nut “A” on the turnbuckle assembly. Once the
jam nut is loose you can rotate the body of the
turnbuckle “B” to either extend the turnbuckle
to raise the wing or retract the turnbuckle to
lower the wing.
3. After the wings are set at the desired position
retighten the jam nut “A” to maintain height
setting.
