  • Page 9: General Adjustments

    Overhaul Every 500 hours GENERAL ADJUSTMENTS The DENNIS G680 is supplied with a tool wallet containing set spanners and a plug spanner. Sizes for adjustment are quoted in mm. SHEAR BLADE ADJUSTMENT. Correct setting of the shear blade is essential to effective cutting of grass. If the set is too far away it will result in bruised grass and poor results.
  • Page 10 The cutting cylinder should just brush against the shear blade. The correct setting is an audible whisper of cylinder moving against the shear blade - we suggest gloves be worn for this part of the operation. The unit should just cut 80 g.s.m. (photocopy paper) along its length.
  • Page 11 Ensure that the indicator points are even on both sides when related to the series of holes. Failure to adjust evenly will lead to an uneven cut to the turf. A setting bar is available from DENNIS for ease of setting accurately. Test at both ends of the cylinder.
  • Page 12: Routine Maintenance

    DRIVING BELTS ROLLER CLUTCH The Dennis G680 has three belt systems on the machine. The primary drive belt for the roller clutch is located adjacent to the engine under the cover. This belt is of a special construction and not a normal vee belt. The tensioner pulley moves up onto the belt via a cable control.
  • Page 13 Belt tension is the single most important factor necessary for long, satisfactory service life of any belt drive. Under-tensioning leads to belt slip causing rapid wear; over tensioning means excessive strain on belt and bearings. Between these two extreme conditions is a reasonable range of tension within which the belt will operate.
  • Page 14: General Lubrication

    CUTTER CLUTCH This is a single belt system under the chaincase on the sided of the machine. These belts (2 off) are of a special construction and are not normal vee belts. The tensioner pulley moves up onto the belt via a cable control. This is adjustable using a 13 mm spanner on the adjuster block on the left hand sideplate of the machine.
