3.04 - Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from moving blades.
Be sure tractor engine is off, parking brake is locked, and key is removed before
making any adjustments.
Never rely on the tractor lift system. Install blocks or stands under the rotary
cutter deck to prevent it from falling.
The cutting height is the distance from the blades to the ground which is determined by
the position of the tail wheel.
The cutting height is adjusted by moving the wheel arm up or down on the height
adjustment brackets which are part of the deck (see fig. 5). Raising the wheel arm
lowers the cut.
The cutting height is adjustable from 1” to 9¼”.
IMPORTANT: Very low cutting heights should be avoided. Damaging shock loads
occur when the blades strike the ground repeatedly. This can cause damage to
the cutter.
3.05 - Pre-Operational Check
IMPORTANT: Check each of the following, carefully, prior to engaging the equipment:
1. The oil in the gearbox.
2. The wheel arm and wheel bearing have been greased.
3. The driveline cross and bearings have been greased.
