Important: When set properly, the rear and front
rollers will contact the gauge bar and the screw
will be snug against the bedknife. This ensures
the height-of-cut is identical at both ends of the
bedknife.
7. Tighten nuts to lock the adjustment.
Important: To avoid scalping on undulating turf,
ensure that the roller supports are positioned
rearward (the roller closer to the reel).
Note: The front roller can be put in three different
positions (Figure 50), depending on the application
and needs of the user.
•
Use the front position when a groomer is installed.
•
Use the middle position without a groomer.
•
Use the third position in extremely undulating turf
conditions.
