SECTION 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION -- CHAPTER 2
00-8
NOTICE: If the pin is installed too far, the retaining
ring may be knocked off and the pin may be lost,
causing loss of flotation.
With the mower cutter bar lowered onto flat ground,
the flotation spring should measure approximately
921 mm (36-1/4 in) between the ends of the spring
coils in order to provide the proper flotation for the
cutter bar.
The tractor hydraulic valve should be placed in the
“float” position to allow the cutter bar to follow the
ground.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Change the cutting height by tilting the angle of the
cutter bar. Adjust top link length, 1, until the desired
cutting height is obtained.
Cutting too close to the ground will cause excessive
wear on the discs and knives.
Cutting too high in fine grasses may cause a ragged
cut.
Do not tilt the cutter bar rearward past horizontal
position or premature knife wear will result.
WARNING
If stones or other foreign objects enter the cutter
bar, they can be deflected toward the operator
and bystanders. Adjust the cutter bar angle and,
or raise the header to clear stones and foreign
objects. Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.
