SHAFT NUT ADJUSTMENT
1. Be sure trunnion rollers are in the lowest position
on the cam. This can be achieved by manually
tripping the cut-off, by rotating the metering
wheel by hand.
2. Remove set screws and brass plugs in the
adjusting nut.
3. Lift the trigger so it does not interfere with the
rocking movement of the cam. Adjust the nut
enough to allow the cam to be rocked back and
forth approximately 1/4" (6.4mm). Using a tape
measure (or ruler) verify the 1/4" movement as
shown in Figure 2. Be sure trigger does not
interfere with cam stop.
4. Replace brass plugs, and tighten set screws.
Run through a few cycles and recheck 1/4"
(6.4mm) measurement. It may be necessary to
loosen the set screws and readjust before final
tightening.
5. Run sodcutter through a few cycles again and
check for proper operation. Since the same
problem or occurrence can be attributed to the
shaft nut as well as the trigger, it is possible that
an adjustment to the trigger may be needed.
6. When proper adjustment of the shaft nut has
been completed and the problems still exists,
continue with the trigger adjustment.
