2. Remove pin, 1, and remove the jack stand, 2.
3. Attach the jack stand to the mower frame by

Adjusting the Limit chains and height of the
hitch
Set the limit chain length and the height of the hitch
pins as follows:
1. Level the tractor lower lift links from side-to-side.
Adjust and lock the sway bars to remove as much
side movement as possible.
IMPORTANT: The tractor lower links should be
positioned straight behind the tractor, or have
minimal offset. Excessive offset in either direction
may cause damage to the mower PTO drive shaft
because of excessive operating angles or contact
with hitch pins. This can also put “lead” or “lag” into
the cutter bar, resulting in reduced cutting width and
proper breakaway performance.
2. Adjust the limit chain length so that when the
mower is supported by the limit chains that the
hitch pins, 1, are a minimum of 457 mm (18″)
above the ground.
NOTE: If the high stubble kit is installed on the
mower, adjust the frame height to 508 mm (20
″
)from
the ground to provide adequate flotation.
