Carrier Frame

The front and rear cutting units require different mount-
ing positions on the carrier frames.
Front Carrier Frame
1. For heights of cut in the 3/4 to 3 inch (1.9 to 7.6 cm)
range, the front cutting units should be mounted in the
lower front mounting holes (Fig. 30) of the carrier frame.
NOTE: This permits more up travel of the cutting decks
relative to the tractor when approaching quick uphill
changes in terrain. It does, however, limit the clearance
of the cutting deck to carrier when cresting sharp knolls.
2. For heights of cut in the 2 1/2 to 4 inch (6.4 to 10.2
cm) range, the front cutting units should be mounted in
the upper front mounting holes (Fig. 30) of the carrier
frame.
NOTE: This increases the cutting deck to carrier clear-
ance due to the higher position of the cutting deck, but
will cause the cutting decks to reach their maximum up
travel sooner.
Rear Carrier Frame
1. For all heights--of--cut, the rear cutting deck should
be mounted in the rear mounting holes (Fig. 30) of the
carrier frame.
