Adjusting Cutting Unit Lift/Drop
The machine’s cutting unit lift/drop circuit is equipped
with a flow control valve. This valve is preset at the
factory at 3 turns open, but an adjustment may be
required to compensate for differences in hydraulic oil
temperatures, mowing spreads, etc. If an adjustment is
required, proceed as follows:
Note: Allow hydraulic oil to reach full operating
temperature before adjusting the flow control valve.
1. Raise the seat and find the flow control valve
mounted to the hydraulic cylinder.

turn clockwise.

tighten the set screw.
Belt Adjustments
Make sure the belt is properly tensioned to assure proper
operation of the machine and prevent unnecessary wear.
On new belts, check tension after 8 hours operation.
