VERTICAL MOWER. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Depth of cut changes as the height adjuster wheel pivot,
relative to the frame. Notches on the wheel height adjus-
ter allow ‘indexing’, ensuring the height adjustment is
equal at both ends of the Reel.

To adjust the depth of cut :
Note the position of the notches on the height adjusters,
they must be the same at both sides of the reel.
• Back-off both locknuts.
• Turn the height adjusters CW to increase, CCW to
decrease, the depth of cut.
• The notches are spaced 3/8 inch apart to enable
accurate adjustments.
• Tighten the locknuts.
