Deck Level Adjustments

6. Place a level on the cutter deck to read forward/aft
attitude.
7. (See Figure 3-3) Adjust center 3-Point link (#3) so
that the front of the cutter deck is slightly lower than
the rear by 1/2".
8. Adjust front gauge wheels to the approximate cutting
height (Vertical distance from bottom of front gauge
wheels to tip of front cutting blade).
9. Adjust rear gauge wheel to be the same distance off
the ground as the front gauge wheels.
10. Switch “ARM 2” and “Deck Pivot” cylinders to float
position. This will allow the cutter deck to be
supported by the gauge wheels.
a. Solenoid Control:
Change Float Switch from “OFF” to “ON”.
b. Tractor Control:
Place “ARM 2” and “Deck Pivot” control levers in
float position.
11. Recheck deck height at the front and rear. Make final
adjustments to level the deck by changing the rear
gauge wheel height until the deck rear is 1/2" higher
than the deck front.
12. Change nominal cutting height by raising or lowering
the front and rear gauge wheels equally until the
blade at the front is set at the correct height.
13. Recheck deck height at the front and rear. If needed,
adjust rear gauge wheel until deck rear is 1/2" higher
than deck front.
IMPORTANT: Gauge wheels should not touch
ground while adjusting the center 3-point link. If
needed, retract “ARM 1” sightly to raise gauge
wheels off the ground.
NOTE: Nominal cutting height is the distance from
tip of front cutting blade to ground level.
Deck Level Adjustments
Deck level adjustments should be made on a level
surface large enough to cover the area under the tractor
and deck with parallel arms fully extended.
Without Gauge Wheels
Refer to Figure 3-3:
1. Raise tractor 3-Point hitch until PTO driveline is
approximately level.
2. Adjust arm cylinders so that the parallel arms are
approximately 3/4 extended and deck cylinder so
that the deck is 3 to 4 inches off the ground.
3. Continue adjusting deck cylinder until deck is level
from left to right.
4. Extend “ARM 1” cylinder until skid shoes are 2 to 3
inches off the ground.
5. Place a level on the cutter deck to read forward/aft
attitude.
6. Adjust center 3-Point top-link so that the front of the
cutter deck is slightly lower than the rear by
approximately 1/2".
With Gauge Wheels
Refer to Figure 1-12 on page 18 & Figure 3-3:
1. Make certain tractor control levers are set to center
detent position and if available, Float Switch on the
control stick is turned “OFF”.
2. Raise tractor 3-Point hitch until PTO driveline is
approximately level.
3. Adjust arm cylinders so that the parallel arms are
approximately 3/4 extended and deck cylinder so
that the gauge wheels are 3 to 4 inches off the
ground.
4. Continue adjusting deck cylinder until deck is level
from left to right.
5. Extend “ARM 1” cylinder until gauge wheels are 1 to
2 inches off the ground.
