Do not install or work on the cutting units or lift arms with the engine
running. Always shut off the engine and remove the key from the
key switch.
The dual knob bedknife-to-reel adjustment system incorporated in this cutting
unit simplifies the adjustment procedure needed to deliver optimum mowing
performance. The precise adjustment possible with this design gives the
necessary control to provide a continual self-sharpening action. This feature
maintains sharp cutting edges, assures good quality of cut and greatly reduces
the need for routine backlapping.
In addition, the rear roller positioning system allows for various height-of-cut
ranges and aggressiveness of cut selections.
If a cutting unit is determined to be out of adjustment, complete the following
procedures in the specified order to adjust the cutting unit properly.
1. Adjust the bedknife to reel contact; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's
Manual.
2. Determine desired height-of-cut range and install rear roller mounting shim(s)
accordingly.; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual.
3. Adjust the height-of-cut; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual.
