A. Raise the rear of the cutting unit and place a block
under the bedknife.
B. Remove the 2 nuts securing each roller bracket
and spacer to each sideplate mounting flange.
C. Lower the roller and screws from the sideplate
mounting flanges and spacers.
D. Place the spacers onto the screws on the roller
brackets.
E. Secure the roller bracket and spacers to the

is controlled by the machining tolerances of the
assembled components and paralleling is not required.

Adjusting the Height of Cut

Note: For heights of cut greater than 1.270 cm (0.500 inch),
you must install the high height of cut kit.
Important: Whenever the cutting unit has to be tipped
to expose the bedknife/reel, prop up the rear of the
cutting unit to make sure the nuts on the back end of
the bedbar adjusting screws are not resting on the work
surface (Figure 7).
1. Loosen the locknuts securing the height-of-cut arms to
the cutting unit side plates (Figure 14).

2. Loosen the nut on the gauge bar and set the height
adjusting bolt to the desired height-of-cut (Figure 15).
The distance between the bottom of the bolt head and
the face of the bar is the height-of-cut.
