Check factory-set roll gap as follows:

To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key
from ignition before leaving operator's seat for any reason.
1. Lower the disc mower to the ground.
2. Stop the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
3. Steel Rolls: The length of thread (A) extending above
the jam nut on the adjustment rods can be used as an
approximation of roll gap, but does NOT provide
consistent roll gap measurements. To ensure roll gap is
at the factory setting, refer to

4. Polyurethane Rolls: Insert a feeler gauge between
rolls from either front or rear of header. Factory setting
is 3 mm (1/8 in.). If adjustments are required, refer to
7.11.2 Adjusting Roll Gap (Polyurethane Rolls), page
141.
