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. Drive-
line 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 move hitch pin to extended position (See assembly section). Move tractor
tires inward to obtain clearance or lower mower until clearance exists. Set 3-Point quadrant stop so mower
cannot be raised beyond set point. FIGURE 5.
