Rear Ballast
No Parts Required
Procedure
The machine conforms to CEN standard EN 836:1997 and
ANSI standard B71.4-2012 standard when 22.6 kg (50 lbs.) of
calcium chloride ballast is added to the rear wheels.
Important: If a puncture occurs in a tire with calcium
chloride, remove the machine from the turf as quickly
as possible. To prevent possible damage to the turf,
immediately soak the affected area with water.

Adjusting the Carrier Frame
No Parts Required
Adjusting the Front Cutting Decks
The front and rear cutting decks require different mounting
positions. The front cutting deck has two mounting positions
depending on what height-of-cut and degree of deck rotation
you desire.
1. For heights of cut in the 2 to 7.6 cm (3/4 to 3 inch)
range, mount the front carrier frames in the lower front
mounting holes (Figure 15).
Note: This permits more up travel of the cutting
decks relative to tractor when approaching quick uphill
changes in terrain. It does however limit the clearance
of the chamber to the carrier when cresting sharp
knolls.

2. For heights of cut in the 6.3 to 10 cm (2-1/2 to 4 inch)
range, mount the front carrier frames in the upper
front mounting holes (Figure 15).
Note: This increases the chamber to carrier clearance
due to the higher position of the cutting chamber, but
will cause the cutting deck to reach their maximum up
travel sooner.
Adjusting the Rear Cutting Deck
The front and rear cutting decks require different mounting
positions. The rear cutting deck has one mounting position
for proper alignment with the sidewinder under frame.
For all heights of cut, mount the rear cutting deck in the rear
mounting holes (Figure 15).

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
No Parts Required
Procedure
Important: This cutting deck often cuts approximately
6 mm (1/4 inch) lower than a reel cutting unit with the
same bench setting. It may be necessary to have these
rotary cutting deck's bench set 6 mm (1/4 inch) above
that of reels cutting in the same area.
Important: Access to the rear cutting units is greatly
improved by removing the cutting unit from the tractor.
If the unit is equipped with a Sidewinder®, sidewind the
