Adjusting Platform Guard Angle

Set the guard angle and gauge shoe height to optimize the cutting performance of the platform, at the same time using care to protect the guards and platform from obstacles in the field.

NOTE: It is not necessary to engage the platform drive to set guard angle.

Changing the guard angle will affect the platform cutting height.

1. Lower platform to the ground and set engine at idle.
