4. On the outside of the hood, insert the hook end
of the latch through the hole in the hood and
ensure that the rubber-sealing washer remains
to the outer side of the hood (
Figure 7 ).
5. On the inside of the hood, insert the metal
washer onto the latch, secure the latch with the
nut, and ensure that the latch engages the frame
catch when it is locked.

Adjusting the Carrier Frame
No Parts Required
Adjusting the Front Cutting Units
The front and rear cutting units require different
mounting positions. The front cutting unit has 2
mounting positions depending on what height of cut
and degree of cutting unit rotation you desire.
•
For heights of cut between 2.0 to 7.6 cm (0.75 to 3
inches), mount the front carrier frames in the lower
front mounting holes (
Figure 8 ).
Note:
This position allows more forward
positioning of the cutting units relative to the
traction unit when approaching quick uphill
changes in terrain. However, it does limit the
clearance of the chamber to the carrier when
cresting sharp knolls.

•
For heights of cut between 6.3 to 10 cm (2.5 to 4
inches), mount the front carrier frames in the upper
front mounting holes (
Figure 8 ).
Note:
This increases the chamber to carrier
clearance due to the higher position of the cutting
chamber, but will cause the cutting units to reach
their maximum forward travel sooner.
