machine. As a guide, there are notches in the
quadrant and holes in the side plate. Align these on both sides to level the machine.
To check the height of cut and that the machine is level a setting bar (229524) can be used. Place the bar between the
front and rear rollers, resting the underside of the bolt head on the lip of the shear blade.
Either a ruler or pile of coins can be used to set the setting bar to the correct position. You are measuring the distance
between the bar and the underside of the button head screw ('XX' in the Image below).
As an indication coins measure the following:-
- 1p 1.58mm (0.063" )
- 10p 1.84mm (0.072" )
Remember height of cut is effected by moisture of turf , weight of machine and the
thatch density. Different makes of machine cut at different heights when set to the
same position with the setting bar. We suggest you set it to a couple of mm above your
planned height and then come down in height by trial.
Always check height of cut/operation with the setting bar provided. Check in two
positions i.e. one at either end of the cassette. Failure to do this could result in an
uneven cut.
