Set–up and Adjustments
IMPORTANT: To insure proper setting of height–of–cut,
these procedures must be followed in this order:
A. Adjusting (Parallel) Bedknife To Reel
B. Setting Cutting Unit Attitude
C. Leveling Front Roller
D. Finalizing Height–of–Cut
IMPORTANT: Each cutting unit must be set consistent-
ly. Minor differences in either 1) Height–of–Cut, 2) Atti-
tude, 3) Bedknife Wear or 4) Reel Blade Wear, between
cutting units, may result in negative after cut appear-
ance.
NOTE: The cutting unit has been set at the factory at
5/8" (16mm) height–of–cut and with a cutting unit atti-
tude of 2 degrees. Also, the bedknife has been backed
off from the reel to prevent shipping damage. Verify set-
ting to ensure changes did not occur during shipment.
When doing set–up and adjustments:
1. Check each end of the reel for grease. Grease
should be visibly evident in the reel bearings and internal
splines of reel shaft.
2. Insure that all nuts and bolts are securely fastened.
3. Make sure carrier frame suspension operates freely
and does not bind when moved back and forth.
