CAUTION
Disengage PTO, engage parking brake, shut off tractor, and
remove key before making any adjustments!

Mower Chute

This mower is equipped with an adjustable grass
discharge chute. Adjustments can be made by loosening
the bolts on the front and rear of mower chute. With the
mower chute in the raised operating position, grass is
expelled away from the mower for a more even
distribution of grass clippings. Lowering the mower chute
will decrease the distance the grass is discharged from
the mower.
!
DANGER
DO NOT in any condition operate mower with chute removed
Floating & Front To
Back Hitch Adjustments
The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been
designed for front to back flotation when mowing on
uneven terrain. The lower 3-point hitch blocks also are
adjustable from front to back for additional field float and
tractor clearance. The lower hitch blocks and top link rear
braces can be adjusted front to back as shown in Figure
3-1 and Figure 3-2, Middle Position Floating Hitch
Adjustment, in lFigure 3-2. Deviation from the 3 setting
will limit field float.
NOTE: Positioning the Upper Hitch Arms and Lower
Hitch Lugs to the back setting shortens overall tractor/
mower length allowing tighter turns and increasing
lifting power.
