Parts needed for this procedure:
1 Gauge bar
3 Cutting unit (model 04613, 04614, or 04615)
3 Cutting unit upper weight
6 Hex socket-head screws
3 Grass Basket
Procedure
Note: When sharpening, setting the height-of-cut,
or performing other maintenance procedures on the
cutting units, store the cutting unit reel motors in the
storage location on the front of the suspension arms to
prevent damage to them.
Important: Do not raise the suspension to the
transport position when the reel motors are in the
holders in the machine frame. Damage to the
motors or hoses could result.
Important: Whenever the cutting unit has to be
tipped to expose bedknife/reel, prop up rear of
cutting unit to make sure nuts on back end of
bedbar adjusting screws are not resting on work
surface (Figure 9).
