OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTACHING THE OVERHEAD CLAMPING ARMS
Your grinder is supplied with two clamp rods and two
mower clamps.
Determine which clamp arms to use in your grinding
application. You have two choices; First, the large
mower clamps which are primarily attached to the
front rollers. Second, attach the clamp rods with the
flat plat directly to the mowing unit using the hole on
the end of the clamp rod attached to a stud or bolt on
the mowing unit frame.
Loosen the two (2) screw handles on each overhead
clamp and move them to where the overhead clamp
rods can be attached to the mowing unit. Tighten the
mower clamps to the mower, then securely tighten the
two (2) locking handles on each overhead clamp. See
FIG. 30.
The overhead clamps can be mounted with the
clamping rod above the tubing cross bar or they can
be mounted with the clamp rod under the tubing cross
bar as shown in FIG. 30. It is recommended to mount
them under the tubing cross bar whenever possible.
Before tightening the overhead clamps you must
correctly position the mowing unit. When using
the roller supports or the centers, you can pivot the
cutting unit with the overhead clamps. With the
relief grinding wheel and the relief guard with fingers
installed, you must pivot the cutting unit so you have
clearance of the relief finger to the frame, clearance of
the next blade to be relieved to the grinding wheel and
clearance of the grinding wheel to the front roller.
DO NOT TIGHTEN THE LEFT HAND SLIDE ROD

LOWER PART OF THE CLAMP UNTIL REEL HAS BEEN

FIRMLY TIGHTEN ALL LOCKING KNOBS BEFORE
GRINDING. ANY LOOSENESS WILL ADVERSELY
AFFECT GRINDING QUALITY.
