Remember, measurement at location “A” should not
be less than location “B” and should not be over 1/2”
greater than location “B”
Tractor Top Link Adjustment
(Figure 4 & Figure 5)
Adjust tractor top link so mower is level at 16”
between caster wheel and ground (dimension C,
Figure 4). This will allow the mower to follow ground
contour.
Front Caster Wheel Interference Check
(Figure 4)
IMPORTANT
J Donot operatetractorand moweruntil
this interference check has been per-
formed. If you change tractors, you must
perform the check for that mounting.
Perform this check with all of the spacers and springs
above the caster wheel arm. This will place the caster
wheels in their highest position and provide the lowest
cutting height for the mower.
Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 16” at
dimension “C” or maximum height of tractor lift,
whichever is less.
Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check that
there is clearance between caster wheels and tractor
tires. If there is interference, you must not use front
caster wheels on the mower with this tractor .
Optional check chains are available and may be used
to control front deck height.
