MOWER
BLADE
ADJUSTMENT
• The blades have been preadjusted before leaving the factory.
• Misalignment can occur resulting in blades that are too loose or too tight. If this happens, you will notice a rough,
uneven cut or a hard pushing mower.
• All adjustments
are made from the rear of the mower (opposite from the bar with the logo decal.) Each end of the cut-
ting bar can be adjusted separately.
• As you follow the instructions below, refer to Figure 1 for more information.
• The cutting bar blade (located under the reel) pivots. The front screws move the cutter bar away from_the blades, while
the rear screws move the cutting bar toward the blades.
• Adjusting the screws is a very sensitive procedure. 1/16th of a turn is considered a major adjustment.
• Before tightening one adjusting screw, be sure to loosen the opposing screw an equal amount.
LOOSENING
THE BLADES
• The cutter bar blade must be moved further from the cutting reel.
• Loosen both back screws equally by turning them counter-clockwise.
• Tighten both front screws equally by turning them clockwise.
TIGHTENING
THE
BLADES
• The cutter bar must be moved closer to the cutting reel.
• Loosen both front screws equally by turning them counter-clockwise,
• Tighten both back screws equally by turning them clockwise. "
CHECKING
ADJUSTMENTS
• Turn mower upside down.
• insert a piece of paper (i.e., writing or newspaper) between the cutter bar and the reel blades, and carefully turn the reel
blades by hand.
• All blades should slice the paper evenly the entire length of the cutter bar while the reel turns smoothly.
• If the mower has an uneven cut, an adjustment should be made to the appropriate side of the blades to attain an even
cutting action.
