Center and Wing Section Leveling
These adjustments should be made with your cutter
hooked up to the same tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height.
Adjust leveling rods as described below.
Refer to Figure 2-1 & Figure 2-2:
1. Attach cutter to tractor and position it on level ground.
2. Raise both wings to locked position.
3. Using hydraulic lift, adjust center deck height so that
the front skids (#2) are 2 to 3 inches above ground.
4. Measure right and left hand sides of the center section
from ground line to center line of hinge rods (#1). The
hinge rods should be 1” closer to the ground at the
front than they are at the back. If they are not, loosen
both jam nuts (#3) and rotate adjusting nuts (#4) at the
same time until the right and left hand sides are
inclined from front to back by 1”.
5. Be sure that both sides are equal distance from
ground line to center line of hinge rod and that left and
right leveling rods have equal tension. Re-tighten jam
nut (#3).
NOTE: Lengthening leveling rods with adjusting
nuts (#4) will lower the front of the cutter.
6. Lower wings to ground position. Wing sections will
need adjusting if wing top deck sheets are not level
with center top deck sheet. Level right side by
loosening jam nut (#5) and rotating adjusting
turnbuckle (#6) until right wing is level with center
section. Re-tighten jam nut (#5). Repeat procedure to
level left wing deck.

Cutting Height Adjustment
Refer to Figure 2-2:
Stroke control spacers are supplied to accommodate
various cutting heights. Remove or add control spacers
to the cylinder rod by spreading them apart at the break
line. Removing spacers lowers the deck and adding
spacers raises the deck.
