Cutting Height Adjustments
• Rotate height adjust crank handles (item #8
and #5 in fig. 4) in a clockwise direction to
raise the mower and in a counter-clockwise
direction to lower.
• Make sure that height adjustment is the same
on both sides of the mower, as indicated by
the graduated scales on the height
adjustment tubes.
• NOTE: Graduated scales are for reference
only.
Front to Back Adjustment
To obtain the best cutting results, the mower
housing
should be adjusted so that the front is approximately
¼” to ¾” lower that the rear. To check for front to
back adjustment, measure from the bottom edge of
the deck to the ground at both the front and rear of
the deck.
Tow Hitch Offset Assembly
This Trailmower has been designed to run offset from
the center of the tow vehicle to provide additional
cutting width. (Refer to fig. 2 for assembly
information)
• The adjustable tow hitch of this mower can
be assembled in several positions from
straight to 58” offset to either side.
•
We recommend when towing with a tow
vehicle equipped with a mid mount mower to
offset the Trailmower to overlap the cut of
the mid mount mower by 6”. This will need to
be adjusted depending on the type of terrain,
obstacles, and the tow vehicle being used.
•
If your tow vehicle is not equipped with a mid
mount mower the hitch can be adjusted to a
straight position, but we recommend using
the offset position to eliminate grass being
crushed by the tow vehicle.
Tow Hitch Offset Assembly
• Please refer to figure 2 for the assembly of
the hitch bar.
