If hinge rods are too low at the front:
Loosen jam nuts (#3). Rotate adjusting nuts (#4) an
equal amount to shorten both leveling rods until the
hinge rods (#1) are inclined from front to back by 1"
with the front being closer to the ground than the
back.
5.
Be sure that both sides are equal distance from
ground line to center line of hinge rod and that left
and right leveling rods have equal tension.
Re-tighten jam nut (#3).

Section 2: Adjustments
Center & Wing Section Leveling
These adjustments should be made with your cutter
hooked up to the same tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height.
Adjust leveling rods as described below.
Center Deck Leveling
Refer to Figure 2-1 & Figure 2-2:
1.
Attach cutter to tractor and position it on level
ground.
2.
Raise wing to locked position.
3.
Using hydraulic lift, adjust center deck height so that
the front skids (#2) are 2 to 3 inches above ground.
4.
On both sides of the center deck are hinge rods (#1).
Measure from ground to bottom of hinge rods at the
front and back. The hinge rods should be 1" closer to
the ground at the front than they are at the back.
If hinge rods are too high at the front:
Loosen jam nuts (#3). Rotate adjusting nuts (#4) an
equal amount to lengthen both leveling rods until the
hinge rods (#1) are inclined from front to back by 1"
with the front being closer to the ground than the
back.
NOTE: Lengthening leveling rods with adjusting
nuts (#4) will lower the front of the cutter.
