Section 2: Adjustments
Center & Wing Deck Leveling
These adjustments should be made with the cutter
hooked up to the same tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height.
Adjust leveling rods as described below.
Center Deck Leveling
Refer to Figure 2-1 & Figure 2-2:
1. Attach cutter to the tractor that will be pulling the
cutter and position tractor and cutter on level ground.
2. Back jam nuts (#3) away from adjusting nuts (#4).
3. Raise both wings up and lock into position with
transport locks to keep wings from falling. See
"Setting Transport Locks" on page 18.
4. Using hydraulic lift, adjust center deck height so that
the front skids (#7) are 2 to 3 inches above ground.
NOTE: Lengthen leveling rods to lower front of
cutter, & shorten leveling rods to raise front of cutter.
5. On both sides of the center deck are hinge rods (#2).
Measure from ground to bottom of hinge rods at the
front and back. The hinge rods should be 1" closer to
the ground at the front than they are at the back.
If continuous hinges are too high at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#3) several turns.
b. Unscrew adjusting nuts (#4) clockwise an equal
amount to lower front of cutter until both hinge
rods are inclined from front to back by 1" with the
front closer to the ground than the back.

If continuous hinges are too low at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#3).
b. Tighten adjusting nuts (#4) counterclockwise an
equal amount to raise front of cutter until both
hinge rods are inclined from front to back by 1"
with the front closer to the ground than the back.
6. Raise cutter fully up to make accessing jam nuts (#3)
and adjusting nuts (#4) easier with wrenches.
7. Be sure left and right leveling rods have equal
amount of tension and then re-tighten jam nuts (#3)
against adjusting nuts (#4).
