OPERATION
between rods and adjust at equal lengths to maintain equal tension. Improper adjustments may cause
rods to snap or bend.
5. Level the mower side to side by manipulating one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at least one of
the lift arms is designed to allow for manipulation of its length. Shortening or extending will allow for deck
leveling from side to side.
LEVELING WING SECTIONS WITH CENTER
1. To level the wing sections with the deck
center, adjust the leveling screw between the
wing axle and the center axle. To lower the
wing, loosen the jamnut and shorten the
screw assembly, lengthen the screw
assembly to raise the wing. After wings are
leveled, retighten jamnuts to maintain
settings.
7.2 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 jamnuts after the deck pitch has been
set. OPS-R-0002-F
