OPERATION
LEVELING WING SECTIONS WITH CENTER
To level the wing sections with the deck center,
adjust the leveling screw between the wing axle
and the center axle. To lower the wing, loosen the
jamnut and shorten the screw assembly, lengthen
the screw assembly to raise the wing. After wings
are leveled, retighten jamnuts to maintain settings.

5.2 Setting Deck Pitch
Lower Horse Power - Better Fuel Efficiency
To increase fuel efficiency and lower horsepower
requirements for mower operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately 3/
4" LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass only once and requires less
work from the tractor.
Increase Mulching
To increase mulching of the grass or crop material
during mower operation, the mower should be
operated with the deck approximately 3/4" HIGHER
IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass twice and can result in a
more even cut and improved distribution of the cut
material.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and
maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper
adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend.
Retighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been
set. OPS-U-0041
