The cut height for the center section is set by extending
or shortening the depth collar located on the center lift
cylinder. Cutting height for the wing cylinders will be
automatically controlled by the hydraulic phasing
system. Depth stops are also provided on the wing
cylinders as back up for fine adjustments.
IMPORTANT: If depth control stops are not set at the
same height as the center cylinder, internal damage
may occur to the phasing cylinders.
The cutter should always be operated in the highest
position that will produce the desired cutting results.
Operating at increased heights will minimize the
chances of blades contacting the ground and
discharging debris.
6.1 SETTING CUTTING HEIGHT
6.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient 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. In addition, a more even distribution of
the clippings from the rear of the mower will be
achieved with this deck pitch.
Adjust the lift rods linking the tongue to the rear axle
until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower in the
front that than the rear. To lower the front, lengthen the
lift rods and to raise the front shorten the rods.
IMPORTANT: Adjust the lift 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.
