CAUTION!
Ensure mower with special supports if it is necessary to lift mower off the ground
to make adjustments! If not supported, the mower could fall causing serious
injury to those present.
Leveling the mower
Level adjustments are made at the tractor's 3-Point lower arms and top center
link.
1. Park tractor and mower on a flat level surface.
2. Slowly raise mower with the tractor's Hydraulic 3-Point lift until the unit is
about 1 to 2" above the ground.
3. Ensure that the lower arms are stabilized to prevent excessive side movement.
4. Place a spirt level on the top cover running from left to right and adjust one of
the lower 3-Point arms up or down until the mower is level from left to right.
5. Adjust tractor's top center link to place the upper hitch pin vertically above or
slightly behind the lower hitch pins.
6. Slowly operate the tractor's 3-Point hydraulic control up and down to check for
clearance between the tires, frame, drawbar, etc.
