all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. After adjusting the height-of-cut, adjust the
rollers by removing the flange nut, bushing,
spacer, and bolt (Figure 20 , Figure 21 and
Figure 49 ).
Note: The two middle rollers will not have a
spacer (Figure 21).
4. Select a hole so the anti-scalp roller is
positioned to the nearest corresponding
height-of-cut desired.
5. Install the flange nut bushing, spacer, and bolt.
Torque to 40-45 ft-lb (54-61 N•m) (Figure 20 ,
