Performing the
Height-of-Cut Adjustment
Set the height of cut to the desired height using a
height-of-cut gauge, and ensure that your cutting unit
is equipped with a bedknife that is best suited for your
desired height of cut; refer to
to Match Turf Conditions (page
Adjusting the Rear Roller Height
Depending on your desired height-of-cut range, adjust
the rear roller brackets
low or high position:
•
Position the spacer above the sideplate-mounting
flange (factory setting) when the height-of-cut
settings range from 1.5 mm to 6 mm (1/16 inch to
1/4 inch) as shown in

Verify that the bedknife-to-reel contact is correct.
Tip the mower to expose the front and rear
rollers and the bedknife.
Note:
The position of the rear roller to the reel
is controlled by the machining tolerances of
the assembled components and paralleling is
not required. A limited amount of adjustment is
possible by setting the cutting unit on a surface
plate and loosening the sideplate mounting bolts
(Figure
