IMPORTANT: When set properly, the rear
and front rollers will contact the gauge bar
and the screw will be snug against the bed-
knife. This assures height of cut is identical at
both ends of the bedknife.
6. Tighten the nuts at the sides of the height-of-cut
brackets to lock adjustment.
IMPORTANT: To avoid scalping on undulating
turf, make sure the roller supports are posi-
tioned rearward (roller closer to the reel).
ADJUSTING GRASS SHIELD
HEIGHT
Adjust the shield to assure proper grass clipping dis-
charge into the basket.
1. Measure the distance from the top of the front
support rod to the front lip of the shield at each
end of the cutting unit (Fig. 9).

2. The height of the shield from the support rod for
normal cutting conditions should be 4 inches.
Loosen the capscrews and nuts securing each end
of the shield to the side plate, adjust the shield to
its correct height and tighten the fasteners.
Note: The shield can be lowered for drier conditions
(clippings fly over the top of the basket) or raised to
allow for heavy wet grass conditions (clippings build
up on the rear of the basket).
ADJUSTING CUT-OFF BAR
Adjust the cut-off bar to assure clippings are cleanly
discharged from the reel area:
1. Loosen the screws securing the top bar (Fig. 10)
to the cutting unit. Insert a .060 inch feeler gauge
between the top of the reel and the bar and tighten
the screws. Assure the bar and the reel are equal
distance apart across the entire reel.
