2. Lower, front deck
mounting hole
2. For heights of cut in the 6.3 to 10 cm (2-1/2 to 4
inches) range, mount the front carrier frames in
the upper, front mounting holes
Note:
This increases the chamber to carrier
clearance due to the higher position of the
cutting chamber, but causes the cutting deck to
reach its maximum up travel more quickly.
Adjusting the Rear Cutting Deck
The front and rear cutting decks require different
mounting positions. The rear cutting deck has 1
mounting position for proper alignment with the
Sidewinder® unit under the frame.
For all heights of cut, mount the rear cutting deck in
the rear mounting holes
