Checking and adjusting the cutting
unit’s parallelism
To achieve good mowing results it is important that
the unit is parallel with the ground.
Check this as follows:
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Measure the distance between the ground and
the edge of the unit, at the front and back of the
hood.
If the values are the same the cutting unit is
parallel.

If the cutting unit needs adjusting, do as follows:
1. Dismantle the front hood and right-hand and left-
hand fenders as described on page 18.
2. Release the lock-nuts (1) and (2). Note that the
strut ends are right and left threaded.
3. Place a wrench over the bevel (3) in the middle
of the strut and screw the strut forwards to raise
the front edge of the hood, or backwards to
lower it.
4. Tighten the lock nuts after the adjustment.
5. On completion of the adjustment the unit’s
parallelism should be re-checked.
Fit the left-hand and right-hand fenders and the
front hood.
