ADJUSTMENTS
The DM1162 and DM1165 disc mowers have been
designed and factory adjusted to function properly
under most field operating conditions. However, due to
the wide range of operating conditions that could be
encountered, additional adjustments may be required.
WARNING
BEFORE adjusting the disc mower, exercise
the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PRO-
CEDURE (page 8).
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(Fig. 9)
The cutting height can be changed by tilting the
cutterbar. To tilt the cutterbar, turn the tractor top link on
the 3-point hitch until the desired cutting height is
obtained.
IMPORTANT: If the field being cut is very uneven
or may contain rocks, reduce the cutting angle and
gound speed. Cutting too close to the ground will
cause excessive wear on the cutterbar discs and
knives. In down, tangled and lodged crops, use a
steeper disc angle to obtain a clean cut.
