Hook the screw head on the cutting edge of the
bedknife and rest the rear end of the bar on the
rear roller (Fig. 8).
5.
Rotate the adjusting knob until the roller
contacts the front of the gauge bar. Adjust both
ends of the roller until the entire roller is
parallel to the bedknife.
IMPORTANT: When set properly, the rear
and front rollers will contact the gauge bar
and the screw will be snug against the
bedknife. This assures height of cut is
identical at both ends of the bedknife.

6.
Tighten the nuts to lock adjustment.
IMPORTANT: To avoid scalping on
undulating turf, make sure the roller
supports are positioned rearward (roller
closer to the reel).
Note:
The front roller can be put in three different
positions (Fig. 9) depending on the application and
your needs.
•
Use the front position when a groomer is
installed.
•
Use the middle position without a groomer.
•
Use the third position in extremely undulating
turf conditions.

Adjusting Grass Shield Height
Adjust the shield to assure proper grass clipping
discharge into the basket.
1.
Measure the distance from the top of the front
support rod to the front lip of the shield at each
end of the cutting unit (Fig. 10).

2. Shield
2.
The height of the shield from the support rod
for normal cutting conditions should be 10 cm
(4 inches). Loosen the capscrews and nuts
securing each end of the shield to the side
plate, adjust the shield to its correct height and
tighten the fasteners.
Note:
The shield can be lowered for drier
conditions (clippings fly over the top of the
basket) or raised to allow for heavy wet grass
conditions (clippings build up on the rear of the
basket).
