Adjusting the Rear Carrier
Frame Height
1. Slide the rear carrier frame onto the rear lift arm pivot
rod (Fig. 4). Do not install the carrier frame to the
cutting unit at this time.
2. Raise the lift arms and carrier frame fully.
3. Press down on one end of the carrier frame until the up
stop on the opposite end contacts the underside of the
foot step (Fig. 4). The distance between the up stop and
the underside of the foot step, on the end pressed down,
should be approximately 1/4 in. (6 mm). If the distance
is not 1/4 in. (6 mm), an adjustment to the lift cylinder
is required. If the distance is correct, remove the carrier
frame and proceed with the setup instructions.
