Adjusting the Carrier Frame
(Groundsmaster 3500-D and
3500-G only)
Adjusting the Front Cutting Decks
The front and rear cutting decks require different mounting
positions. The front cutting deck has two mounting positions
depending on what height-of-cut and degree of deck rotation
you desire.
1. For heights of cut in the 3/4 to 3 inch (2 to 7.6 cm)
range, mount the front carrier frames in the lower front
mounting holes

(Figure

Note: This permits more up travel of the cutting
decks relative to tractor when approaching quick uphill
changes in terrain. It does however limit the clearance
of the chamber to the carrier when cresting sharp
knolls.

2. Front deck mounting hole

2. For heights of cut in the 2-1/2 to 4 inch (6.3 to 10
cm) range, mount the front carrier frames in the upper
front mounting holes

1 Apply to the cutting deck for CE compliance.
1 Read before operating.
1 Use to lookup parts.
Note: This increases the chamber to carrier clearance
due to the higher position of the cutting chamber, but
will cause the cutting deck to reach their maximum up
travel sooner.
Adjusting the Rear Cutting Deck
The front and rear cutting decks require different mounting
positions. The rear cutting deck has one mounting position
for proper alignment with the sidewinder under frame.
For all heights of cut, mount the rear cutting deck in the rear
mounting holes

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

Important: This cutting deck often cuts approximately
1/4 inch (6 mm) lower than a reel cutting unit with the
same bench setting. It may be necessary to have these
rotary cutting deck's bench set 1/4 inch (6 mm) above
that of reels cutting in the same area.
Important: Access to the rear cutting units is greatly
improved by removing the cutting unit from the tractor.
If the unit is equipped with a Sidewinder®, sidewind the
cutting units to the right, remove the rear cutting unit,
and slide it out to the right side.
1. Lower the cutting deck to the ground, stop the engine,
and remove the key from ignition switch.
2. Loosen the bolt securing each height-of-cut bracket to
the height-of-cut plate (front and each side)
3. Beginning with front adjustment, remove the bolt.
