Figure 8. Mower Attitude Adjustment

lower
than, the rear. Raise or lower tractor 3-point arms to
accomplish this measurement.

Figure 9. Check Chain & Top Link Adjustment
(1 0-89)
Attach check chain brackets (11) to tractor top link
bracket
(4).
Insert check chains into check chain brackets.
Count the links between mower and brackets to
ensure you have the same number of links on each
side. Chains may be twisted to obtain finer
adjustment. Secure excess chain to taut chain with
quick link (5).
With check chains properly adjusted, you will be
able
to raise mower with 3-point hitch and return to
the original cutting height.
Check top link adjustment to be sure mower front
end raises at least 10" and the back end clears the
ground and top pivot links have free travel when
raised.
Side Skid Adjustment
With cutting height established, adjust side skids
approximately
above the ground. Never
operate mower with weight continually on side
skids. Properly adjusted side skids are designed to
carry mower over uneven ground and minimize
scalping.
Removing Mower from Tractor
Place tractor and mower on a solid level surface.
Raise mower
to accommodate blocking.
Disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key.
Place a block, that will not allow mower to fall or tip,
under front edge of mower deck. Lower mower onto
block.
