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 2 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 inches)
range, mount the front carrier frames in the lower,
front mounting holes
Note: This permits more up travel of the cutting decks
relative to the machine when approaching sudden
changes in uphill terrain. It does, however, limit the
clearance of the chamber to the carrier when cresting
sharp, small hills.

2. For heights of cut in the 6.3 to 10 cm (2-1/2 to 4
inches) range, mount the front carrier frames in the
upper, front mounting holes
Note: This increases the chamber to carrier clearance
due to the higher position of the cutting chamber, but
causes the cutting deck to reach its maximum up travel
more quickly.
Adjusting the Rear Cutting Deck
The front and rear cutting decks require different mounting
positions. The rear cutting deck has 1 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

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 the
rotary cutting decks bench set 6 mm (1/4 inch) above
that of the reels cutting in the same area.
