Adjusting the Blade Slope for Transport
Because the attachment lift is used when the PTO
drive is engaged, blade slope in transport must be
adjusted to extend PTO drive belt life. This
adjustment also provides for adequate transport
height. Three steps accomplish this: 1) Making sure
the lift arm cams are in the same position, 2)
Measuring blade slope in its front and rear positions
and 3) Making adjustments if the blade slope is not
within specification.
IMPORTANT: Failure to adjust for blade
slope in transport can result in drive belt
failure and/or insufficient transport height.
1. Check to see that both adjustment cams are
oriented with the indicator toward the pivot point
at the rear of the tractor (Fig. 18).
