Mechanical Door (Fig. 3)
On each side of the deck center section is a mechanical
door that opens and closes as the wing sections are
lowered and raised. The doors open to provide overlap
of the cutter blades when the wing units are down. The
doors close to provide safety and protection when the
wing units are raised.
To adjust mechanical door, disconnect threaded rod
from the door by removing cotter pin. Loosen the jam
nut and turn the rod in or out so that the bottom of the
door is 1/4 inch up from the bottom of the deck side
panel when the wing is fully raised. Tighten jam nut and
install the cotter pin.

scalp rollers should also be adjusted (adjust on a hard
level surface).

When height of cut is set at 1 to 1-1/2 inches, the center
anti-scalp roller and the two ball rollers on the front of
the deck should be in the upper position. when the
height of cut is 2 to 4 inches the rollers should be in the
