roller assembly for each mower section. Each
section must be set at the same height to ensure an
even cut across the entire width of the mower.

and completely lower the mower to the ground.
2. Shut down the tractor, place the transmission in
park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting.
3. One section at a time, place lifting device
(scissors jack or hydraulic jack) under center of
cutter housing.

from bracket at each end of roller. Make certain
that roller bracket is free to move once the
fasteners are removed. A stuck roller could
drop unexpectedly and cause injury.

desired cutting height. Align bracket holes with
cutter housing, then reinstall hardware.

height to ensure a even cut across the entire
width of the mower.
