Setting Mower Cutting Height - Alamo none Operator's Manual

Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.

7. SETTING MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower makes a
more uniform cut, distributes clippings more evenly, increases tractor efficiency, and follows the contour of
uneven terrain. Note: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most
damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive. Blades contacting the ground may
cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
Roller Height Adjustment
The mower's cutting height is set by positioning
the roller assembly for each mower section.
Each section must be set at the same height to
ensure an even cut across the entire width of the
mower.
1. Place the tractor and mower on a level
surface and completely lower the mower to
the ground.
2. Shut down the
transmission in park, and set the parking
brake before dismounting.
3. One section at a time, place lifting device
(scissors jack or hydraulic jack) under center
of cutter housing.
