Flail Cutting Unit General Information; Adjusting The Height Of Cut - Toro LT-F3000 Operator's Manual

Flail Cutting Unit General
Information
It is important to keep the flail blades sharp and in
good condition to ensure good cutting performance,
minimum power consumption, and a good quality of
cut.
The flail head is a fine cut flail and should only be
used for maintaining grass. Its recommended that a
maximum of 1/3 of the total grass length is removed
when cut.
The scraper wires are fitted to remove debris from
the roller, in dry conditions these may not be required
and its recommended they are removed. In damp
wet conditions ensure that scraper wires do not get
plugged with debris.
The cutting unit floats and can pivot laterally to follow
ground contours.
The cutting units are designed to be operated at
full engine rpm. Forward speed should be adjusted
depending on grass conditions and to not overload
the power units or the heads. The lower the forward
speed the higher the quality of cut and after cut
appearance.

Adjusting the Height of Cut

Note:
The height of cut is gauged by the rear roller.
Blade wear, worn cutting unit pivots, bent/damaged
cutting unit pins, and bent/damaged arms can affect
the height-of-cut setting.
1. Turn the adjusting-nut assembly on both ends
clockwise to decrease the height of cut or
counter-clockwise to increase the height of cut
(Figure 26).
