Cutting Height Adjustment; Maintenance - Tarmo TAR004 Instruction Manual

13. Do not engage PTO with mower in the fully raised position. Do not engage PTO at full
throttle.

Cutting height adjustment

CAUTION: Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and disengage PTO before
making any height adjustments. The machines cutting height depends upon the position of
the rear roller.
1. Remove the bolts that fix the roller on both sides.
2. Lift or lower both sides of roller in equal measurements.
3. Make sure that the roller has the same height on both sides and replace bolts and re-
tighten.
Leveling the mower
ATTENTION: When adjusting the mower, tractor and mower should be on level ground. Lev-
eling can be adjusted at the tractor's 3-point arms and center link. The 3-point hitch system
on this mower has been designed for front to back flotation when mowing on uneven terrain.
Adjust tractor top link in or out to place upper hitch pin vertically above or slightly behind
lower hitch pins to allow mower flotation. The mower should be run with the back 15 de-
grees lower than the front.
The position can be adjusted laterally also with the stabilizer arms. Adjust them until you
have achieved your desired position.

MAINTENANCE

Proper servicing and adjustments are the key to the long life of any machine. With careful
and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.
ATTENTION: For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be performed with trac-
tor PTO disengaged, mower lowered completely to ground and tractor engine shut off with
ignition key removed.
