2. Ensure that the clearance between each lift arm
and stop bolt is 0.13 to 1.02 mm (0.005 to 0.040
inch) as shown in
Note:
If the clearance is not in this range, adjust
the stop bolts to attain the proper clearance.
3. Start the engine, raise the cutting units, and
ensure that the clearance between the wear
strap on the top of the rear-cutting-unit wear bar
and the bumper strap is 0.51 to 2.54 mm (0.02
to 0.10 inch) as shown in

Adjusting the Carrier Frame

No Parts Required
Adjusting the Front Cutting Decks
The front and rear cutting decks require different
mounting positions. The front cutting deck has 2
mounting positions depending on what height of cut
and degree of deck rotation you desire.
1. For heights of cut in the 2 to 7.6 cm (3/4 to 3
inches) range, mount the front carrier frames in
the lower, front mounting holes
Note:
This permits more up travel of the cutting
g031574
decks relative to the machine when approaching
sudden changes in uphill terrain. It does,
however, limit the clearance of the chamber to
the carrier when cresting sharp, small hills.
