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
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.

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 under frame.
For all heights of cut, mount the rear cutting deck in
the rear mounting holes
