Tractor Stability
Place mower on a level surface. Back tractor up
to
mower and attach lower 3-paint lift arms to mower
hitch pins. Secure with Kiik pins.
Make sure tractor PTO spring-activated locking
collar slides freely
and
is seated
firmly
in
mower
driveline spline groove.
Attach mower drive shaft
to
tractor PTO.
Attach tractor top link to mower top link pivots.
Adjust tractor top link
to
raise mower front end at

Cutting Height Adjustment
(figure
7 )
Place tractor and mower on a level surface. Check
tractor tire pressure to make sure it
is
correct and
equal.
The adjustments given are
to
provide you with a
starting point. Adjustments are approximate and
may vary due
to
machine wear. You may desire
to
fine tune them
for
your situation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the
ground with blades gives one of the most
damaging shock loads a mower can encounter.
Severe shock loads can damage the mower
drive and/or the tractor transmission.
Mower cutting height
is
raised, lowered, and main-
tained with tractor hydraulics and top link adjust-
ment, check chains and caster arms.
Place a straightedge along mower deck edge from
front
to
rear (refer
to
figure
8).
Measure from each
front corner
to
the ground to be sure mower
is level.
Use tractor 3-point arm adjustment as required.
Refer
to
figure

Approximate cutting heights are
provided for various hole
