Check Chains (Extra Equipment) for Lift-Models (Figure Asm-0011)
Check Chains are available for attachment to front
of Mower as an accessory. Check chains are used
to control cutting height and especially allow Mower
to be lowered to the same preset cutting height
effortlessly.
Install lower end of check chain (4) to hitch ears (6)
through lower holes (7) using bolts, nuts and
lockwashers(8). Tighten securely.
Install chain lugs (3) on either side of tractor top link
mounting (5) using bolt or pin 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.
Offset Adapter Hitch - Extra Equipment (Figure Asm-0010)
1. Fasten the Offset Adapter Hitch Weldment to
the lift lugs using the Hitch Pin holes. Fasten
the Adjustable Leg to the left side lug if the
Cutter is to offset to the left. The Cutter will
make a cleaner cut behind the wheel tracks if it
is offset to the left. Reverse the Assembly for
right offset.
2. Install the Brace Bars. Fasten the chain end to
the rear mounting hole in the Gearbox Base
Plate. Adjust the Brace Bar so the Hitch
Assembly is nearly perpendicular.
3. Attach the Cutter to the tractor. Install stabilizer
bars or adjust sway chains to prevent side sway
of the Cutter.
