ROLLER HEIGHT CONTROL
The roller can be adjusted for 2 or 3 cutting heights. By raising the roller, you get a shorter cut,
by lowering it, a longer cut is achieved. You can also fine adjust the cutting height with the top
link arm. By shortening the link arm, your cut is further from the ground.
A suggested cutting height is having the hammer tips about 2" from the ground.
You can control the power needed and the amount of wear on the hammers by this adjustment.
ADJUSTING REAR ROLLER:
To adjust roller, loosen (Fig. 1, ref. 1). Completely remove
(Fig. 1, ref. 2 & 3). Align the appropriate hole in the support
bracket with the hole in the deck to achieve roller position
desired.
1. There is also an adjustment that can be made on the roller to control mulch size and
power needed. By moving the roller toward the cutting shaft (Fig. 7), a finer mulch is
produced, requiring less H.P. In this case, we suggest opening the hatch to cut grass,
vegetables, cornstalk, cotton, etc.
2. By moving the roller away from the cutting shaft (Fig. 7), a coarser mulch is produced,
requiring more H.P. In this case, we suggest closing the hatch to mulch prunings.
3. The third position, or furthest from the cutting shaft, is used only to allow room for
rakes on the mower, if needed. Rakes are used when the prunings are laying close to
the ground and have to be drawn out.
4. For more precise work and performance, we recommend spending 5 minutes adjusting
your mower for the job, this can be done according to the previous recommendations.
5. The roller scraper can be removed when cutting grass, because close positioning of the
roller to the cutting shaft permits the hammers to act as a roller cleaning device.
