Wing Deck Leveling

Refer to Figure 2-3:

Each wing section will need adjusting if wing top is not

level with center deck top when wings are unfolded.

1. With tractor hydraulics, lower wing deck as follows:

a. See Figure 3-4 on page 25. Fully raise wing to

release tension on the transport lock bar. Remove

hairpin clip (#1) from transport lock pin (#4).

b. See Figure 3-3 on page 25. Swing transport lock

bar (#3) to stored position and over lock pin (#2).

Secure with hairpin clip (#1).

c. Lower wing section to down position.

2. Pull cutter straight forward six to ten feet to allow

outer wing wheels to properly align themselves.

3. Check wing tops to see if they are level with the top of

the center deck. If the outer edge of either wing is

higher or lower than the center deck, then that wing

should be leveled as follows:

a. If outer wing edge is higher than the center

deck, loosen jam nut (#1) and rotate turnbuckle

(#2) clockwise to lower outer wing edge until wing

is level. Tighten jam nut (#1) to the correct torque

when level.

b. If outer wing edge is lower than the center deck,

loosen jam nut (#1) and rotate turnbuckle (#2)

counterclockwise to raise outer wing edge until

wing is level. Tighten jam nut (#1) to the correct

torque when level.

Cutting Height Adjustment

Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 20:

1. At the cutting site, unfold wings and raise center deck

fully up with lift cylinder.

2. Place tractor gear selector in park, set park brake,

shut off tractor, and remove key before dismounting

from tractor.

3. Remove all stroke control spacers from center

hydraulic lift cylinder by spreading them apart at the

break line. Store spacers in a location they can be

retrieved.

4. Start tractor and engage blades. See instructions for

“Engage Blades” on page 26.

5. Using tractor control lever, adjust cutter to the

desired cutting height and then travel forward for

approximately 20 to 50 feet.

6. Stop tractor, disengage PTO, place tractor gear

selector in park, set park brake, shut off tractor,

remove key, and wait for blades to come to a

complete stop before dismounting from tractor.

7. Measure height of cut grass/material. This distance

is the cutting height. If this height is acceptable,

continue with step 8. If this height is unacceptable,

repeat steps 4 thru 7 until desired cutting height is

achieved.

8. Select required size and number of stroke control

spacers that will fit on the center hydraulic cylinder

rod. The following spacers are available.

• (#1): Two 1" spacers

• (#2): One 1 1/4" spacer

• (#3): One 1 1/2" spacer

• (#4): One 1 3/4" spacer

9. Return to the tractor and raise Rotary Cutter up

again. With tractor shut off and switch key removed,

install selected stroke control spacers on the center

hydraulic lift cylinder rod.

10. Return to tractor and lower cutter against stroke

control spacers. Recheck cutting height in steps 4

thru 7. If needed, adjust size and quantity of stroke

control spacers until desired cutting height is

achieved.

Removing spacers lowers the cutting height and

adding spacers raises the cutting height.

11. Keep remaining spacers with tractor for field

adjustments.

NOTE: Make all cutting height adjustments in the

field using height of cut grass/material as a guide.

Do not measure blade height above ground as the

non-operating blade height will be different than the

operating blade height.
