DANGER
Before making any adjustments to this machine, disengage
PTO, shut off tractor, remove ignition key and wait for all
moving parts to stop. Disconnect the PTO driveline.
Leveling for Transport and Operation
The elevating arm and retaining arm need to be adjusted
together. See Figure 2-1.
Belt Tension Adjustment
Belt must be properly tensioned at all times to avoid
excessive flopping and slipping. Loose belt will also cause
poor cutting and premature wear.
Check tightness of the belt regularly, especially when
working the first few hours.
Always retighten or check belt after 4-8 hours of operation.
Refer to Figure 2-2.
1. Loosen u-bolt (#1).
2. Tighten nut (#2) on the belt tension rod (#3) until you
have a 3/4” deflection midpoint between pulleys. Refer
to Figure 2-3.
3. Retighten nut on u-bolt.
