Setting Mowing Height-Lift Type - Schulte FX-107 Operator's Manual

7.1 Setting Mowing Height-Lift Type

1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2. To set the cutting height raise the mower until
the bottom of blades and ground measure the
desired cutting height. For example if desired
height is 3", measurement from bottom of blade
to ground should be 3". Set the 3-point control
lever stop at this position to maintain this height
when raising and lowering the mower.
3. Shut down the tractor and remove the key.
4. Level the mower deck front to rear by extending
or retracting the 3-point top link.
5. Level the mower side to side by manipulating
one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at
least one of the lift arms is designed to allow for
manipulation of its length. Shortening or
extending will allow for deck leveling from side
to side.
6. Securely block up the mower at this height.
7. Adjust the wheel arm to set the cutter height by
adjusting the height lugs. Remove the four bolts
that secure the red lock links to the height lugs.
Lift or lower the cutter to the desired height and
reinstall the links to lock the wheel arm in place.
8. Extend the tractor's top 3-point link so that
when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will
raise 2 to 2½" before the tail wheel leaves the
ground. This will allow the mower to follow the
contour of uneven terrain.
