BARONESS LM2700 BLADE/CUT ADJUSTMENT
Before attempting to adjust the blades in order to put the machine ‘on cut’ please make sure that:
Finally, before commencing adjustment it is very important to make sure that the cutting units are
clean, especially behind the cutting cylinder between the bottom blade carrier and the cutting
cylinder. If there is build up on top of this blade carrier then this can restrict the cutting cylinder from
lowering onto the bottom blade. If necessary open up the rear grass deflector and clean the area.
The rear cutting cylinder pivot pins
must be free rotating and that this
bolt/nut is not over-tightened or
seized due to corrosion.
If it is seized: remove the bolt and
clean all surfaces (bolt and drilling)
with emery cloth. Then coat the bolt
in an anti-seize compound (Copper
Slip etc) before reinserting the bolt.
Do not tighten the nut tight. Pinch it
up and then slacken it off just a little
in order to allow the bolt to rotate.
Make sure that this spring is
sufficiently tensioned but without it
being ‘coil bound’ through over
tightened. There must be some
visible gap between each spring coil.
To adjust the spring tension, rotate
this spring pressure screw. Rotate it
anti-clockwise to add tension and
clockwise to decrease tension.
Make sure that this bolt is free
rotating and not clamping the
aluminium casting to the mower
frame. To adjust this bolt correctly,
tighten it fully and then slacken it off
a little until it rotates.
