After mounting the Finishing Mower to the tractor's three point lifting system,
set the mower to the desired cutting height. Adjust height by arranging the different
spacers on the four wheels, see page 7, reference #1. This will result in relieving
the weight of the mower from the tractor's lifting system. There are three height
positions for the chain adjustment. Select the height that allows the mower to float
freely over any terrain without any weight on the three (3) point lift system, see
reference 25, page 8. The Finishing Mower is not designed to cut foreign objects
such as steel rods, old tires or tubes, or tree limbs, etc. It is designed to cut grass
only.
