Setting Deck Pitch; Leveling Wing - Schulte FX-315 Operator's Manual

6.1 Setting Deck Pitch

Mower should be operated
approximately 3/4" HIGHER IN THE FRONT THAN
THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass twice and can result in a
more even cut and improved distribution of the cut
material.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and
maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper
adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Re-
tighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been
set.

6.2 Leveling Wing

1. The center section height should be set before
adjusting the wing sections. Make sure the
tractor is completely shut down, the cutter is
completely lowered, and the cutter and tractor
are secured in position.
2. To set the wing section height, adjust the 1-1/4"
threaded rod on the wing adjustment assembly
to level the wings of the cutter with the center
section.
3. To raise or lower wing, back off nut "A" first then
adjust nut "B". Retighten nut "A" and lock
washer after adjustment. To lower the wing,
retract the threaded rod (Figure Ops-610). To
raise the wing, extend the threaded rod (Figure
Ops-611)
4. After the wings are set at the desired position,
retighten jamnuts to maintain height settings.
