ADJUSTMENTS
Leveling the Mower
Note: Tractor and mower should be on level ground. Leveling can be adjusted at the tractor’s 3PT arms and
center link.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The machine’s cutting height depends on the position of the rear roller.
1. Remove the bolts that fix the roller on both sides.
2. Lift lower both sides of rollers in equal measurements.
3. Replace bolts and re-tighten.
3PT Hitch Adjustments
The 3PT hitch system on this mower has been designed for front to back flotation when mowing on uneven
terrain. Adjust tractor’s top center link to place the upper hitch pin vertically above or slightly behind the
lower hitch pins. The mower should be run with the back 15 degrees lower than the front. The hitch can also
be adjusted from side to side by turning the adjustment handle. Turn handle until you have achieved your
desired location.
CAUTION!
Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and disengage PTO before making any height
adjustments!
Belt Tension
CAUTION!
Belt drive system under spring tension; use care to avoid bodily harm!
The belt tension should be checked after the first 20 hours of use and then every 40 hours of use. 1. Tension
on the belt can be adjusted with the belt tension bolt. Turn bolt until desired tension is achieved. When
the belt has the correct tension, the gearbox should be adjusted so that the gearbox extension is running
straight (parallel) with the flail mower. Loosen bolts at the bottom of the gearbox and move gearbox until
gearbox extension is running straight.
CAUTION!
Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of belt and drive components.
Excessive tension on the belt may also to safety hazard to the operator or bystanders.
