Matching Height Of Cut Between Cutting
Units
1. Position blade side to side on outside spindle of both
side cutting units. Measure from the floor to the tip of
the cutting edge on both units and compare. These
numbers should be within 1/8 in. (3 mm) of each other.
Make no adjustment at this time.
2. Position blade side to side on inside spindle of side
cutting unit and corresponding outside spindle of front
cutting unit. Measure from the floor to the tip of the
cutting edge on inside edge of side cutting unit to
corresponding outside edge of front cutting unit and
compare. The side cutting unit measurement should be
approximately 3/8" less than the front cutting unit
measurement to be correct. When proper machine
counterbalance is applied to the side cutting units the
inside edge will lift up approximately 3/8 in. (10 mm).
Note: All three side cutting units castor wheels should
remain on the ground with counterbalance applied.
Note: If adjustments need to be made to match the cut
between the front and side cutting units, make the
adjustments to the side cutting units only.
3. If the inside edge of the side cutting unit is too high
relative to the outside edge of the front cutting unit,
remove one 1/8 in. shim from the bottom of the front
inside castor arm on the side cutting unit. (Fig. 23)

Recheck measurement between outside edges of both
side cutting units and inside edge of side cutting unit to
outside edge of front cutting unit.
4. If inside edge is still too high, remove an additional
1/8 in. shim from bottom of front inside castor arm of
the side cutting unit and one 1/8 in. shim from the front
outside castor arm of the side cutting unit.
5. If the inside edge of the side cutting unit is too low
relative to the outside edge of the front cutting unit, add
one 1/8 in. shim to the bottom of the front inside castor
arm on the side cutting unit. Check measurement
between outside edges of both side cutting units and
inside edge of side cutting unit to outside edge of front
cutting unit.
6. If inside edge is still too low, add an additional 1/8 in.
shim to the bottom of front inside castor arm of the side
cutting unit and add one 1/8 in. shim to the front
outside castor arm of the side cutting unit.
7. Once cutting height matches at the edges of front and
side cutting units, verify that side cutting unit pitch is
still 1/4 in. (6 mm). Adjust as necessary.
