CHECKING DRIVELINE/CUTTER
CLEARANCE
IMPORTANT:
Prevent driveline damage
from contact with frame or machine damage
from contact with tractor tires. Raise cutter
slowly and check for interference. If necessary,
shorten center link or lengthen lift links to
provide clearance to full lift height.
1. Raise cutter slowly and check for
clearance between driveline shield and
cutter deck.
2. Check clearance between tractor tires
and foot guards or chain deflector.
3. Check to see if hitch height position will
provide clearance desired.
NOTE:
Final adjustments should be made
before operating cutter. See ADJUSTING
CUTTING HEIGHT AND ANGLE in Operating
the Cutter section. Center link should be
installed in lowest hole at tractor end if there
are multiple holes. Lift height may also be
limited by installing stops on rockshaft control
lever bracket.
4. Shorten center link or lengthen lift links
to provide clearance. (See your tractor
Operator's Manual.)
IMPORTANT: PTO driveline may be too long
for some tractor models, causing tractor
transaxle damage. Hold driveline sections
parallel to each other and check for a
minimum of 6 inches overlap.
5. Raise and lower cutter slowly to check
for binding or interference. Check
cutter-to-tractor driveline telescoping
length to ensure that it does not bottom
out. Modify driveline if necessary.

Assembly section.)
