Setting the mowing height gauge and blade thickness
1) Set the mowing height gauge at the desired height. The minimum mowing height
with respect to each bottom blade thickness is shown below.
* The minimum mowing height is the height on the average condition green. Lawn may
be shaved when the undulation of the green is substantial. Set the mowing height
higher in that case.
2) Adjust the front gloomer according to the condition of the green before use.
* If the groomer blades are set deeper than the ground surface, the shaft may bend.
The front groomer, when it is put too low, will apply an excessive load to the engine
and transmission section, causing malfunction or failure.
3) When using the grooming brush, adjust the height so that it will be equal to the
mowing height.
* The brush will be worn easily when the height is too low.
4) [IMPORTANT] Adjustment of front roller height
Bring the mowing height gauge into contact with the front roller and drum (as shown
below), and adjust the height of the bottom blade.
a. Loosen the tall nut of the roller bracket, and move the front roller up or down with
roller adjuster.
b. Position the front roller with the mowing height gauge.
c. Make adjustment at both edges.
d. Tighten the tall nut, and secure the roller bracket.
