CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
FAIRWAY. FLOATING HEAD
Fig.18
A special tool is available that ensures that each mowing
unit cuts at the same height, and also that the Reels and
Bed-knives are parallel to each other.
To set the cutting height :
Raise the Reels to transport position. Set the
front and rear rollers to ‘minimum height’ by
releasing the lock-nuts and turning the front and
rear Height Adjusters ‘clockwise’.
Set the required ‘height of cut’ ‘A’ with the front
Adjusting Screw in the Adjusting Bar.
Position the head of the Adjusting Screw on the
Bed-knife Blade.
Tighten the rear Adjusting Screw, against the
Bed-knife Holder, until the Adjusting Bar and the
Bed-knife are parallel.
Turn the front and the rear Height Adjusters until
the front and rear rollers contact the Adjusting
Bar.
Tighten the Lock-nuts. Remove Adjusting bar.
Follow the above procedure at both ends of the rollers
to ensure an even height of cut across the Reel.
Each mowing unit must be adjusted using the same
method, for all mowing units to cut at the same height.
