6.3 Lowest Cutting Height
NOTE: Only operate in the lower position when you
are mowing in an agricultural application, be sure
there are no bystanders, passerby or livestock with
in 300 feet. .
To achieve the lowest possible cutting height, raise
the side skirt from the upper set of holes to the
lower set of holes shown in Figure Op-245
6.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately
3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass only once and requires less
work from the tractor. In addition, a more even
distribution of the clippings from the rear of the
mower will be achieved with this deck pitch.
Adjust the leveling rods linking the tongue to the
rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4”
lower in the front that than the rear. To lower the
front, lengthen the leveling rods and to raise the
front shorten the leveling rods. IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and
maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the
j
amnuts after the deck pitch has been set. OPS-R-0002
Never crawl under a raised Implement supported solely by the Tractor 3-Point hitch.
Release of the control lever or mechanical failure will result in the Implement falling and
possible injury or death. Always securely block up the Implement before crawling
underneath to perform repairs and service.
