Refer to Figure 2-3:
5. Add or remove spacers below the spindle tubes
equal to the number of inches the gauge wheel
needs to be adjusted. Adding spacers will raise the
cutting height and removing spacers will lower the
cutting height. When finished, all ten gauge wheels
will usually have an equal number of spacers below
the spindle tubes. See note below.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing tolerances and tire
size differences, it may be necessary to readjust
some spacers. Because of this, you may not end up
with equal number of spacers on all gauge wheels.
IMPORTANT: Linchpins should always be inserted
into the gauge wheel spindle from the front with the
locking clasp flipped shut over the spindle toward the
back. Attaching the pin in this manner will prevent
vegetation from catching on the clasp and flipping it
open while traveling forward.
6. After making height adjustments, always replace
linchpins by inserting them into the gauge wheel
spindle pin holes from the front to keep from loosing
the pins and gauge wheels.
7.
Lower mower decks to the field position making sure
all fold cylinders are fully extended.
Refer to Figure 2-4:
IMPORTANT: Slide-on spacers are 1/2" (12.7 mm)
thick. Use two 1/2" (12.7 mm) slide-on spacers at the
front of the rear deck for every 1" (2.5 cm) spacer
used at the back of the rear deck.
8. Adjust front of center deck height to match height at
rear of center deck:
a. Attach jack stand to jack mount located in front of
the center gearbox channel. Make sure stand is
secured with attachment pin.
