shield tube is 1-9/16 or less, drive tubes should be shortened per Figure 4.
always maintain 1-9/16 clearance when operated in shortest working position. shorten inner and outer guard
tubes equally. Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the same amount that the shield tubes were short-
ened. Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs. Grease sliding profiles. Figure 4.
Lower mower to lowest position possible. Check distance from colored tape to end outer shield tube. Driveline
tube engagement must always exceed 12 inches. If not consult dealer to obtain longer driveline.
FRONT GAUGE WHEEL INTERFERENCE CHECK
Do not operate mower until this interference check has been performed. If you change tractors, you must
perform the check for that mounting.
Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to maximum height of tractor lift.
Pivot both front gauge wheels forward and check that there is clearance between gauge wheels and tractor
tires.
If there is interference, you must restrict tractor three point lift height so mower cannot be raised beyond set
point. FIGURE 5. Adjust tractor top link length to maximize clearance.
