Adjusting the Carrier Frame
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 is desired. The rear cutting deck has one mounting
position for proper alignment with the sidewinder under
frame.
Front Cutting Decks
1. For heights of cut in the 3/4 to 3 inch range, the front
carrier frames should be mounted in the lower front
mounting holes (Fig. 1).
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 carrier when cresting sharp knolls.

2. For heights of cut in the 2–1/2 to 4 inch range, the front
carrier frames should be mounted in the upper front
mounting holes (Fig. 1).
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.
Rear Cutting Decks
For all heights of cut, the rear cutting deck should be
mounted in the rear mounting holes (Fig. 1).

Adjusting the Height of Cut
Important
This cutting deck often cuts approximately
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 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
cutting units to the right, remove the rear cutting unit, and
slide it out to the right side.
1. Lower cutting deck to ground, stop engine, and remove
key from ignition switch.
2. Loosen capscrew securing each height of cut bracket to
height of cut plate (front and each side) (Fig. 2).
3. Beginning with front adjustment, remove capscrew.

4. While supporting chamber, remove spacer (Fig. 2).
5. Move chamber to desired height-of-cut and install
spacer into designated height-of-cut hole and slot
(Fig. 3).
