6.1 Setting Mower Height- Lift Type - (Standard or Quick Hitch)
1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground. 
2. Using the 3-point hitch control lever, position
the front of the mower with the side skids 1” less
off the ground than desired cut height. For
example, for a 3” cut, position the skids 2” from
the ground. Set the 3-point control lever stop at
this position to maintain this height when raising
and lowering the mower. 
3. Shut down the tractor and remove the key. 
4. Adjust the mower deck front to rear by
extending or retracting the 3-point top link.
Always set front of deck 3/4” lower than rear for
best performance.
5.4 Safety Tow Chain
If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower. This will help control the
implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. Make sure the chain is attached
to a secure location on the tractor and not to an intermediate support. 
After connecting both ends of the safety chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain
length. Adjust length as necessary and allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both
directions. When not in use, store the safety chain to protect it from mud or standing water by wrapping the
chain around the tongue. Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or
otherwise damaged or deformed. OPS-U-0039
6. SETTING THE MOWER 
Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation.  A properly set mower will make
a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of
uneven terrain.  NOTE:  Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most
damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive.  Blades contacting the ground may
cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck.  Always avoid operating the mower at a height
which causes the blades to contact the ground.
  OPS-U- 0010
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
