OPERATION
ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
Mower cutting height is raised, lowered, and
maintained by adjusting caster and gauge wheels.
Refer to figure and accompanying chart
for
ap-
proximate cutting heights.
Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to adjust
gauge and caster wheels.
is important that
all
three adjustments be the
same. To set cutting height, match numbers
shown in illustration. (Example: hole 2 in caster
adjustment with hole 2 in gauge wheel adjustment,
etc.)
Avoid very low cutting heights.
Striking the ground with blades gives one of
the most damaging shock loads a mower can
encounter and, if this occurs repeatedly, it
will cause damage to mower and drive.
