Setting Deck Height - RHINO FR162 Operator's Manual

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.

5.1 Setting Deck Height

LEVELING DECK CENTER SECTION
1. Place the tractor and mower on a level
surface and lower both wings.
2. Use the center section hydraulic cylinder to
set the mower at approximately 3/4" above
the desired cutting height. The additional
height is necessary so that after the mower
has been leveled, the deck pitch can be set
such that the front of the mower is slightly
lower than the rear.
3. Shut down
transmission in park, and set the parking
brake before dismounting.
4. Level the mower deck front to rear by
adjusting the leveling rods linking the
tongue to the rear axle. DO NOT allow feet
or other body part underneath the mower
when making adjustments. To adjust rod
length, loosen
turnbuckles. To lower the front, lengthen
the rods and to raise the front, shorten the
rods. DO NOT unscrew turnbuckles to the
point that either
becomes disconnected which will cause
the mower to fall. Re-tighten jamnuts when
deck is leveled.
5. IMPORTANT:
between rods and adjust at equal lengths to
maintain equal
adjustments may cause rods to snap or
bend.
6. Place split collar assemblies on the center
axle hydraulic cylinder rod to maintain a set
cutting height each time the mower is raised and lowered.
