OPERATION
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.
6. Securely block up the mower at this height.
7. Remove the bolts securing the tailwheel beam
in position and allow the tailwheel to rest at
ground level. Align tailwheel beam between
nearest sets of holes in beam support brackets
and reinstall support bolts on each side of
beam. Tighten all bolts and nuts.
8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that
when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will
raise 2 to 2½" before the tail wheel leaves the
ground. This will allow the mower to follow the
contour of uneven terrain.
Note: Install optional check chains when there is a
problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a
set height or when a constant pre-adjusted cut
height is required. See Check Chains in the
Assembly Section for this accessory.
