Setting the cutting height and tilt angle
When a new cutting unit is attached, you
need to adjust the tilt angle and cutting
height.
Adjustment must be made in the stated
order.
Starting position:
• Check the tyre pressures 100 kPa /
1.0 bar / 14.5 PSI and 150 kPa / 1.5 bar /
21.7 PSI for the pivot wheels.
• The cutting unit must be lowered on a
flat surface.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When replacing the cutting unit, you must
readjust the tilt angle and cutting height.
Cutting height
1. Release the cutting height setting handle.
2. Set the same height at all three setting
points.
3. Tighten the cutting height handle by hand.
4. Set the handle for cutting height setting.
Release the handle by pressing in the
button and turning it to the horizontal
position, so that it does not catch on
bushes etc.
The height interval is between 25-127 mm
(1"- 5"), 7 positions.
Tilt angle
The machine must be on a flat surface.
1. Check the tyre pressures 100 kPa /

2. Measure the distance between the
ground and the front and rear edges of
the unit.

6-9 mm (1/4"-3/8") higher than the unit's
front edge.
4. Unscrew the lock nut and turn the adjust-
ment screw. Extend the stay in order to
