CV Driveline Turning Limits
■ Do not exceed turning angle of 80 degrees at the
head of the Constant Velocity (CV) driveline or
damage will occur.
Check for excessive turn angle:
1. Disconnect the driveline from the tractor.
2. Start engine and turn as far right or left as possible.
3. Shut off the engine and connect the CV driveline to
the tractor. If it cannot be connected, the turn angle
is too severe.
4. Restart the tractor and straighten the angle slightly.
5. Shut off the engine and connect the CV driveline to
tractor.
6. Repeat the process until the driveline can be con-
nected. The point at which the driveline can be
connected is the maximum turn that can be made.
NOTE: The lesser of the two angles determined in
Interference Checks and during the CV Driveline
Turning Limits is the maximum turning angle that can
be made.
Leveling Mower
NOTE: To ensure satisfactory mower performance, the
trailer frame and decks must be leveled before oper-
ating the mower. During normal operation, the mower
should be leveled twice each season. The mower must
be leveled each time a tractor with a different drawbar
height is used.
Follow this procedure to level the mower for operation:
1. Park the tractor and mower on a at level surface
with the decks in mowing position.
2. Inate all tires to the recommended pressure: 70 psi
for trailer tires and 30 psi for deck gauge tires.
3. Level the trailer frame by adjusting the hitch. (See
Figure 3.)
4. Remove the hitch clevis from the trailer frame and
pin to the tractor drawbar.
5. Use the parking jack to adjust the trailer frame to
the level position. Align the nearest hitch adjustment
hole in the hitch clevis with a hole in the trailer frame.
6. Tighten the hardware to specications in the Bolt
Torque Chart on page 66. Readjust the level of the
frame each time the drawbar height changes.
7. Attach the mower and the driveline to the tractor.
Level the driveline by placing a bolt through the
carrier bearing and the driveline height adjustment
holes.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
■ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
■ Carefully read Operator’s Manual instructions,
disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely
block up all corners with jackstands, and check
stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment
from dropping due to hydraulic leak down,
hydraulic system failures, or mechanical com-
ponent failures.
■ Before adjusting cutting height, raise and lock
mower in transport position, turn off engine, set
parking brake, remove key and installed teth-
ered lock pins in lockout positon.
■ Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground
with blades produces one of the most damaging
shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing
blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause
damage to mower, drive, and blades.
1. Level mower from side to side. Check by measuring
from mower frame to the ground at each deck rail.
2. Verify that the same amount of spacers are under
all caster arms.
3. Loosen cap screws that attach caster arm assembly
to deck.
4. Set mower on the ground.
5. Re-tighten cap screws. This equalizes the clear-
ance in the bolt holes.
6. Best mowing results will be obtained with front of
mower level with, or slightly lower than, the rear.
