Cutting Cylinder To Bottom Blade Adjustment; Grass Catcher - LawnMaster 400 B 2.4 Owner's Manual

The cutting height is increased by rotating the
handwheel in a clockwise direction and vice versa. If
a particular cutting height is required it is necessary to
bridge the rear and front rollers and measure the normal
height to the cutting point of the bottom blade and
adjust the handwheel to obtain the correct height of cut.
Cutting cylinder to Bottom blade
adjustment
It is essential that the relationship between the bottom
blade and Cutting cylinder is kept in good adjustment
and that cutting edges are kept sharp to ensure good
cutting performance, minimum power consumption
and prolonged life for the cutting edges. Carry out the
following procedures before commencing work and
re-check the settings every 2-3 hours of mowing or
when the cutting performance is noticeably reduced.

0.05mm
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows...
Turn adjusting screw A in a clockwise direction each
end alternatively, whilst rotating the cutting cylinder,
until it is in fleeting contact with the Bottom blade
along its entire length. Re-check this procedure making
marginal adjustments to screw A as necessary.
NOTE... The Bottom blade and Cutting cylinder should
just brush each other to create a scything cut for a
better finish. DO NOT over tighten the bearing housing
retaining nyloc nuts B and C.
When the grass is not being cut cleanly it will be
necessary to regrind the front of the Bottom blade.
This procedure must be carried out by your authorised
service agent on a quality, well maintained bottom blade
grinding machine. If the wearing is excessive both the
Cutting cylinder and Bottom blade will need regrinding.

Grass catcher

Always shut off the engine and
ensure it has stopped before fitting
and removing the grass catcher
Always shut off the engine whilst fitting or removing
the grass catcher. Your Dual-Drive Reel Mower can
be operated with the grass catcher fitted or removed.
Generally, the quality of sward will be improved with the
grass catcher removed, hence re-clipping the grass. To
fit the grass catcher, position the catcher in front of the
mower and support the catcher by its front handle and
its top edge. Lift the catcher into position engaging the
hooks over the catcher studs at each end of the mower
frame. Finally, lower the catcher into place, ensuring it
is sitting level on the mower. Reverse this procedure to
remove the catcher.
