Cutter - Levelling Side to Side
LEVELLING SIDE TO SIDE
Adjustment is best done with the deck in a position one up from
its lowest cut – check the level both sides and levelling is then
achieved by adjusting the left (nearside) of the deck at two
points:
REAR ADJUSTMENT
1. Find the deck level disk (fig 1) near the back nearside wheel.
underneath the actuator lifting arm. This disk has a concentric
slot in which the deck-levelling rod is located.
2. Using a 1/2" spanner, loosen the 5/16" Nyloc nut
A securing
this stud just enough to permit some movement.
3. Now lift or lower the deck depending on the adjustment you
wish to achieve. This will move the stud up or down the disk
B
– the higher up and nearer the centre of the disk the higher
the deck.
4. Check with your ruler or tape and having levelled the deck at
the rear, re-tighten the Nyloc nut.
FRONT ADJUSTMENT
1. Having levelled the rear of the deck, check if the front is level.
If not, you will need to find the deck adjustment plate (fig 3)
which is forward of the cutter deck near the front
(nearside) wheel.
2. Before making adjustments loosen the two sets of nuts and
bolts (
A and B) securing the deck levelling bracket (C) using a
13mm spanner and 13mm socket.
3. Then using a 13mm spanner, loosen (upper) locknut (
D).
4. Now adjust the height by using a ratchet or spanner to turn the
Nyloc nut (
E) clockwise (up) to raise the deck or anti-
clockwise (down) to lower it.
5. When level is achieved tighten up all nuts and bolts except
E.
For the closest cut, set the anti-scalp wheels in the middle
adjustment holes. If you are experiencing scalping this can be
minimised by setting the wheels in the lowest adjustment holes.
