IMPORTANT: Loosening the center link may allow the driveline to contact the cutter frame or tractor tires to contact the chain shield. Raise the cutter slowly and check for interference. Lengthen tractor lift links to provide clearance to full height. NOTE: Lift height may also be limited by installing stops on rockshaft control lever bracket. 15. Lengthen center link so distance (A) is according to specifications, allowing links (B) to swing free. This allows the rear of cutter to float over obstructions. Specification
