CUTTERHEAD GENERAL INFORMATION
The mower is designed to be used with MK3 200mm fixed or floating cutterheads or MK3 254mm
fixed cutterheads.
It is essential that the relationship between the bottom blades and the cutting cylinders are kept in good
adjustment and that cutting edges are kept sharp to ensure good cutting performance, minimum power
consumption and prolonged life for the cutting edges, refer - MAINTENANCE - Cutterheads.
Fixed MK3 200mm/254mm Cutterheads: When the mower
is set up with fixed cutterheads the height of cut is gauged by
the rear roller and the cutterhead is allowed to pivot laterally to
follow ground contours. This arrangement is normally
recommended for general mowing requirements.
(MK3 200mm Cutterhead illustrated).
Floating MK3 200mm Cutterheads: When the mower is set
up with floating cutterheads the height of cut is gauged by the
front and rear rollers. The cutterhead is allowed to pivot fore
and aft as well as laterally. This arrangement is recommended
for high quality grass areas and performs well where grass is
short and the ground undulations are severe.
Grass deflectors: The rear grass deflectors must always be
correctly fitted. The deflectors should be set as low as possible
to deflect grass discharge to the ground.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Always ensure
that the grass deflectors are angled below horizontal level,
otherwise risks to health and safety may result.
Height of cut gauge: An optional height of cut gauge is
available to assist in achieving accurate cut height settings. It
is suitable for both fixed and floating cutterheads.
