Leveling The Mower; Cutting Height Adjustment; Belt Tension - Titan 125FLAILSHFT Operator's Manual

SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS

LEVELING THE MOWER

NOTE: Tractor and mower should be on level ground.
Leveling can be adjusted at the tractor draw bars
1. Park tractor and mower on a level ground.
2. Slowly raise mower by tractor draw bars until it is about 1" to 2" above the ground.
3. Ensure that the lower draw bars are stabilized to prevent excessive side movement.
4. Place a level on the top of the mower deck from left to right and adjust one of the tractors
lower draw bars up or down until the mower is level from left to right.
5. Adjust tractor's upper draw bar to place the upper hitch pin vertically above or slightly
behind the lower hitch pins.
6. Slowly operate the tractor draw bars up and down to check for clearance between the
tires, frame, drawbar, etc.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

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. Replace bolts and retighten.

BELT TENSION

Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of belt and drive components.
Excessive tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders.
The belt tension should be checked after the first 20 hours of use. And then every 40 hours of
use.
1. Check belt tension by applying
approximately 22 pounds of pressure
halfway between the pulleys. The belt
should defect approximately 3/8".
2. Remove pulley cover and loose gearbox
mounting bracket bolts as well as tension
plate locknuts.
3. Turn bolt until desired tension is
achieved. Tighten tension nut and then
retighten tension plate bolts, last
retighten gearbox mounting bolts. When
the belt has the correct tension, the
gearbox should be adjusted so that the
gearbox extension is running straight
(parallel) with the flail mower.
