Set Up and Adjustments

Characteristics

CAUTION
Never install or work on the cutting units or lift
arms with the engine running. Always stop en-
gine and remove key first.
The dual knob bedknife--to--reel adjustment system in-
corporated in this cutting unit simplifies the adjustment
procedure needed to deliver optimum mowing perfor-
mance. The precise adjustment possible with this de-
sign gives the necessary control to provide a continual
self--sharpening action. This feature maintains sharp
cutting edges, assures good quality of cut and greatly
reduces the need for routine backlapping.
In addition, the rear roller positioning system allows for
various height-of-cut ranges and aggressiveness of cut
selections.
