CHECK CHAINS (ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT) FOR LIFT-MODELS
Check Chains are available for attachment to front of Mower as necessary. Check chains are used to control
cutting height and especially to allow Mower to be lowered to the same preset cutting height effortlessly.
Install lower end of check chain (4) on hitch ear pin (6). Use lynch pin (7) to secure chain.
Install chain lugs (3) on either side of tractor top link mounting (5) using bolt or pin (2) of required diameter and
length. Cat I kit requires a 3/4 inch diameter bolt. Cat II kit requires a 1 inch diameter bolt.
Cutting height is then set by placing proper chain link in keyhole slot. Cutting height is easily adjustable by
hooking chain higher or lower in the keyholes in chain lug (3).
For additional safety in transport, raise mower as high as possible without having driveline
hit deck and shorten check chains as much as possible to prevent inadvertent falling in
transport.
