breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not
exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while

Check Chains
For 3-Point & Semi-Mount Cutters
(Available through Land Pride parts department.)
Refer to Figure 1-13:
Check chains are used to control the cutting height and
allow the mower to be lowered to the same preset cutting
height effortlessly. Install lower end of check chain (#1) to
the inner hitch ear as shown in Figure 1-13, using the
3/4"-10 x 1 1/2 long bolts (#2), lock washers (#3) and
nuts (#4). Tighten securely. Install chain lugs (#5) on
either side of the tractor top link mount using pin (not
supplied). Cutting height is then set by placing proper
chain link in key slot (#5).
NOTE: For additional safety in transport, raise
cutter as high as possible, and shorten check chains
to prevent inadvertent falling in transport.
