5. Level the mower side to side by manipulating
one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at
least one of the lift arms is designed to allow for
manipulation of its length. Shortening or
extending will allow for deck leveling from side
to side.
6. Securely block up the mower at this height.
7. Remove the bolts securing the tailwheel beam
in position and allow the tailwheel to rest at
ground level. Align tailwheel beam between
nearest sets of holes in beam support brackets
and reinstall support bolts on each side of
beam. Tighten all bolts and nuts.
8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that
when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will
raise 2 to 2½" before the tail wheel leaves the
ground. This will allow the mower to follow the
contour of uneven terrain.
NOTE: Install optional check chains when there is a
problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a
set height or when a constant pre-adjusted cut
height is required. See Check Chains in the
Assembly Section for this accessory.
7.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately
3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Setting Deck Pitch-Lift and Semi-Mount Type
1. Lower the mower until the rear of the mower is
resting securely on its tail wheel.
2. Lower the 3-point lift arms further until the front
of the mower is at least 3/4” lower than the rear.
3. Place the tractor’s 3-point control lever stop at
this point to maintain the deck pitch.
