Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
Gauge Wheels (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-12:
The deck with gauge wheels is shipped from the factory
completely assembled to the parallel arm with the
exception of installing the rear ratchet jack and one
gauge wheel.
NOTE: Installation of gauge wheel and ratchet jack
is easier after the deck has been lowered. Therefore,
it is best to install them just before making "Float
Positioning Control Check" on page 23 for Tractor
Control or just before making "Float Switch ON/OFF
Push Button Check" on page 30 for Solenoid and
Independent Control.
Ratchet Jack Installation

Check 5/8" hex flange lock nuts securing bolts (#3).
They should be drawn up snug, not tight.
A-frame (#2) should pivot freely on the two bolts.
2. Cut ties securing A-frame (#2) and rotate frame back
to position it behind the deck as shown.

removed and stored with the tractor and cutter to
protect the deck finish.
