  • Page 5: Maintenance And Adjustment

  • Page 6 Setting Gauge This illustrates the method of setting the gauge to the height of cut, where in this instance height of cut is a 20-cent piece and a 5-cent coin. The distance between the setting gauge bar and the underside of the adjustable screw head represents the height of cut.
  • Page 7 Cutter To adjust the cutter setting, slacken cutter housing nuts (4) on each side of the machine, and proceed as follows; Adjustment: Slacken the top nuts (5) on adjusting screws. Then by tightening the bottom nuts (6), the cutter is lowered on to the bottom blade.
  • Page 8 Reversing Cutter: A feature of this machine is that the cylinder may be easily removed, reversed end for end and replaced. This provides a new keen cutting edge. If the bottom blade is badly worn, it should be replaced at the same time that the cutting cylinder is reversed or replaced. To withdraw cutter from machine, first remove cutter chain (7), sprocket (8) and grass deflector (9), refer illustration PAGE 1.
  • Page 9 Chains: Adjustment: Loosen chain adjuster locking bolt (14) and slide the chain adjuster in the desired direction. A chain should ever be adjusted too tightly. It is advisable to leave the cutter chain with a little slackness so that slight adjustment of the cutter can be made without having to re-adjust this chain each time.
