to do so may result in damage to the cutting unit or
an unsatisfactory quality of cut.

determined by standing with the rear roller in front of
you (Fig. 2).

After you unbox the cutting unit, inspect the following:
1. Check each end of the reel for grease. Grease
should be visibly evident in the reel bearings and
internal splines of the reel shaft.
2. Insure that all nuts and bolts are securely fastened.
3. Make sure the carrier frame suspension operates
freely and does not bind when moved back and
forth.

conditions are heavy or wet, the rear shield may be
opened.

head capscrew securing the shield to the left side
plate, rotate the shield to the open position and
tighten the capscrew.
