height of cuts lower than 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).
Adjust the skids by removing the flange bolt and nuts,
positioning skids as desired, and installing the fasteners
(Fig. 18).

Rollers
The cutting unit rollers should be mounted in the lower
position when operating in height of cuts greater than
2-1/2 inches (64 mm) and in the higher position when
operating in height of cuts lower than 2-1/2 inches
(64 mm).
1. Remove the capscrew and nut securing the gage wheel

2. Align the roller and spacer with the top holes in the
brackets and secure them with the capscrew and nut.
Adjusting the Blade
To ensure proper operation of the cutting unit, there must
be 0.50 ± 0.12 in. (13 ± 3 mm) clearance between the tips
of the wing and center cutting unit blades (Fig. 20).
1. Raise cutting unit so blades are visible and block center
deck section so it cannot fall accidentally. Wing decks
must be horizontal to center cutting unit.
2. Rotate a center and adjoining wing blade so there blade
tips are aligned. Measure distance between blade tips,
distance should be approximately 0.50 ± 0.12 in.
(13 ± 3 mm) (Fig. 20).

3. To adjust distance, locate adjuster bolt on rear pivot link
of cutting unit (Fig. 21). Loosen jam nut on adjuster
bolt. Loosen or tighten adjuster bolts until 0.50 ±
0.12 in. (13 ± 3 mm) clearance is attained, then tighten
jam nut.
4. Repeat procedure on opposite side of cutting deck.
