ADJUSTMENTS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRAMMER SEATS ______________________ Adjustments must not be made while driving. • After removal of the backrest upholstery, the backrest frame must be supported, for example held in place, • before the backrest adjuster is operated. If you fail to do so, there is a danger that the backrest frame may jerk forward and cause injury.
9 ADJUSTMENTS 9.10 SEAT (GRAMMER MSG85) ___________________________________________ The seat can be adjusted for leg reach, back rest angle and operator weight to provide a comfortable position for operating the machine. A. FORE AND AFT ADJUSTMENT To Adjust: The position of the adjusting lever (A) is on the right hand side of the seat below the seat cushion.
ADJUSTMENTS 9.11 AIR SUSPENSION SEAT (GRAMMER MSG75 -521) _______________________ 9.11.1 WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT______________________________________________ The seat is adjusted for the driver’s weight by pulling or pressing the lever for seat weight adjustment and with the driver sitting on the seat. The driver’s weight is adjusted correctly when the arrow is in the middle clear area of the viewing window.
9 ADJUSTMENTS 9.11.3 BACKREST EXTENSION * ** __________________________________________ The backrest extension can be individually adjusted by pulling it upwards or pushing it downwards over the various locking increments up the end stop. To remove the backrest extension, pull it upwards over the end stop.
ADJUSTMENTS 9.11.6 ARMRESTS * ** ____________________________________________________ The armrests can be folded up if required and the height individually adjusted. To adjust the armrests for height, separate the round cap (see arrow) from the cover, loosen the hexagon nut (size 13 mm) behind it and adjust the armrests to the desired position (5-steps) and tighten the nut again.
A Seat Belt Must Be Worn With A Rops To Comply With The Machinery Directive 98/37/EC Sections 3.2.2, Seating & 3.4.3, Rollover.

Reel Bearing Condition and Pre-Load (End Play) evaluate the mower’s performance before beginning Adjustment. repairs. 3. Reel and Bedknife Sharpness. An area should be available where “test cuts” can be 4.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.2 MARCELLING______________________________________________________ Marcelling, like washboarding, is a cyclical pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance. In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip dis- tance is 2 in. (5 cm) or less. TN0220 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Mowing (ground) speed is too fast.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.3 STEP CUTTING _____________________________________________________ Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one side of a reel than the other or one cutting unit to an- other. This is usually caused by mechanical wear or an incorrect roller or HOC (height-of-cut) adjust- ment.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.4 SCALPING ________________________________________________________ Scalping is a condition in which areas of grass are cut noticeably shorter than the surrounding areas, resulting in a light green or even brown patch. This is usually caused by an excessively low height-of-cut (HOC) setting and/or uneven turf.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.5 STRAGGLERS ______________________________________________________ Stragglers are scattered blades of uncut or poorly cut grass. TN0223 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Bedknife improperly adjusted. Adjust reel-to-bedknife setting. Dull reel or bedknife cutting edges. Sharpen or replace reel blade and bedknife as nec- essary.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.6 STREAKS _________________________________________________________ A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused by a nicked or bent bedknife. TN0224 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Damaged bedknife. Replace bedknife. Damaged or unevenly worn reel. Inspect reel.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.7 WINDROWING ______________________________________________________ Windrowing is the deposit of clippings concentrated at one end of cutting unit(s) or between two cutting units, forming a line in the direction of travel. TN0225 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Grass is too tall.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.8 RIFLING OR TRAMLINING ___________________________________________ Rifling or tramlining is a pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance, usually due to heavy contact points across a reel and/or bedknife. NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Reel and/or bedknife unevenly worn.
