Adjusting The Height Of Cut - Toro 30809 Groundsmaster 3500-G Operator's Manual

1. For a height of cut in the 2 to 7.6 cm (3/4 to 3 inch)
range, mount the front carrier frames in the lower,
front mounting holes
Note: This permits more up travel of the cutting unit
relative to the traction unit when approaching quick
uphill changes in terrain. It does however limit the
clearance of the chamber to the carrier when cresting
sharp knolls.

2. Lower, front mounting hole
2. For a height of cut in the 6.3 to 10 cm (2-1/2 to 4 inch)
range, mount the front, carrier frames in the upper,
front mounting holes
Note: This increases the chamber-to-carrier clearance
due to the higher position of the cutting chamber, but
will cause the cutting unit to reach their maximum up
travel sooner.
Adjusting the Rear, Cutting Unit
The front and rear, cutting units require different mounting
positions. The rear cutting unit has one mounting position
for proper alignment with the sidewinder-under frame.
For all heights of cut, mount the rear cutting unit in the rear
mounting holes (Figure 11).

Procedure
Important: This cutting unit often cuts approximately
6 mm (1/4 inch) lower than a reel-cutting unit with the

same bench setting. It may be necessary to have the
rotary-cutting unit bench set 6 mm (1/4 inch) above that
of a reel-cutting unit in the same area.
Important: Access to the rear, cutting units is greatly
improved by removing the cutting unit from the traction
unit. If the unit is equipped with a Sidewinder®,
sidewind the cutting units to the right, remove the rear
cutting unit, and slide it out to the right side.
1. Lower the cutting unit to the ground, stop the engine,
and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Loosen the bolt securing each height of cut bracket to
the height of cut plate (front and each side) as shown
in Figure 12.
3. Beginning with front adjustment, remove the bolt.

4. While supporting the chamber, remove the spacer
(Figure 13).
5. Move the chamber to the desired height of cut and
install a spacer into the designated height of cut hole
and slot (Figure
6. Position the tapped plate in line with the spacer.
7. Hand-tighten the bolts.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each side adjustment.
9. Tighten all 3 bolts to 41 N-m (30 ft-lb). Always tighten
the front bolt first.
