Transport Height Adjustment
Transport height is adjusted to stabilize the mower in the
up, locked position.
1. Raise the mower to the highest height–of–cut (Fig. 23)
and check if the transport level stops contact the bottom
of the draft bars (Fig. 17).
2. If needed, loosen and adjust the transport level stops so
they just contact the bottom of the draft bars (Fig. 17).
