Adjust Cutting Height
1.
Mower cutting height is raised, lowered, and
maintained by adjusting caster and gauge wheels.
Refer to Figure 2 and accompanying chart for approx-
imate cutting heights.
2.
Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to adjust
gauge and caster wheels. It is important that all set-
tings are the same.

IMPORTANT
■
Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the
ground with blades gives one of the most damag-
ing shock loads a mower can encounter and, if
this occurs repeatedly, it will cause damage to
mower and drive.
Transport Lock Operation
There may be occasions when you would like to use
your tractor for tasks other than mowing but do not
want to remove the mower. For your convenience we
have provided a method to lock the mower up and
free the tractor auxiliary valve or 3-point arm for
implement use.
1.
To engage lock-up bar, raise mower to maximum
height, then lift lock-up handle and drop into outer
gate. This will lock mower in raised position.
2.
To return to operating position, raise mower to
maximum height, then raise lock-up handle and move
to inner gate. Mower will now raise and lower freely.
