CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

To prevent blades from striking the ground, your Rotary Cutter should be set to
the highest position that will give you the desired cutting height. By setting your
mower up this way, you reduce blade wear and stress on the mower. Moving at
regular intervals will produce far better results than periodic mowing.
Raise your Rotary Cutter off the ground with the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK
IN POSITION. Remove M10 round head carriage bolt from adjusting bracket.
Move the A Frame up or down to desired cutting height. Reinstall M10 round
head carriage bolt and tighten to secure in position.
Note: For best results in heavier cutting conditions adjust the deck so the rear
of the mower is approximately 2" higher than the front. This method requires
less horsepower and ground speeds of approximately 3-5mph. If finer shredding
results are desired, adjust the deck to level or slightly lower in the rear. This
method will keep foliage under the deck longer resulting in finer pieces. The
down side of this method is not recommended if it takes a lot more horsepower
and very slow ground speed. This method is not recommended unless a PTO
speed of 540 RPM can be maintained.
