Adjusting Cutting Height - Kunz AcrEase MR55KEI Owner's Manual With Assembly Instructions

Note: When pulling the mower directly behind, the hitch pivot should be fastened on the right
carrier arm for maximum maneuverability. See Figure 2. When pulling the mower in
the offset position the hitch pivot can be fastened on either the right or left carrier arm.
See Figure 2.
The tongue is equipped with a screw pin shackle clevis to provide movement in all directions on
rough, uneven ground. To prevent loss of the screw pin due to vibration or debris, place the
screw pin through the tow vehicle hitch and clevis and turn the screw pin until tight. Use of pliers
or a similar type of tool will be necessary to fully tighten the shackle pin.
Failure to properly tighten the shackle pin could result in the mower separating from
the tow vehicle.
The tongue is designed to adjust from left to right within the hitch pivot. This allows the mowers
position to be varied behind the tow vehicle. This is accomplished by pulling the 5/16" wire lock
pins out and choosing two other hole locations on the tongue. See Figure 3.
B. ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off all engines and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop before
adjusting the cutting height.
The cutting height can be adjusted in a range from 2.0" to 8.0". This is accomplished by turning
the height adjust cranks on both sides of the mower. See Figure 5. Turn the cranks clockwise to
raise the mower cutting height and counter-clockwise to lower the mower cutting height.
Shut off tow vehicle engine and allow mower blades to stop completely before
attempting to measure the cutting height.
