CHECK CHAINS (EXTRA EQUIPMENT) FOR LIFT MODELS
(Asm-R-0131)
Check Chains are available for attachment to the front of the cutter as an accessory. Check chains are used to
control the cutting height and especially to allow the cutter to be lowered to the same preset cutting height
effortlessly.
Install lower end of check chain (4) to hitch ears (6) through hole (7) [see HOLE NOTE below] using bolts (8),
lockwashers (9) and nuts (10). Tighten securely.
Install chain lugs (3) on either side of tractor top link mounting (5) using bolt or pin (2) of required diameter and
length. Cat I kit requires a 3/4" diameter bolt. Cat II kit requires a 1" diameter bolt. Install top end of check
chains in brackets (3).
Cutting height is then set by placing proper chain link in keyhole slot. Cutting height is easily adjustable by
hooking chain higher or lower in the keyholes in chain lug (3).
For additional safety in transport, raise mower as high as possible without having driveline
hit deck and shorten check chains as much as possible to prevent inadvertent falling in
transport.
