ERC Square Back Rotary Cutter
Adjusting Cutting Height (Fig. 2)
Remove the upper carriage bolts, nuts and washers from the Height Adjustment Plate. Inspect the hardware
removed and replace if necessary.
Raise or lower the Tail Wheel Arm to the desired height by selecting a different set of holes in the Height
Adjustment Plate. The deck is very heavy and a hoist or other lifting device may be required to adjust the
cutting height.
Re-attach removed hardware and tighten to proper torque specifications. See “Torque Specifications” chart
of page 19.
Caution: Adjusting the cutting height too low can cause damage to blades and/or the rotary cutter. If
blades continuously striking the ground, raise the height of the cutter.
Adjustments
Warning! Before making adjustments to the ERC Rotary Cutter:
• Shut off the tractor engine, remove tractor key, set parking brake and block
tractor wheels.
• Make sure the blades are not moving before making adjustments.
• Keep hands and feet away from mower blades.
• Never stand or place any body part under the deck without first blocking or
securing the deck.
• Block the rotary cutter deck before adjusting height to prevent it from
falling, causing damage to the rotary cutter, injury or possibly death.
