ADJUSTMENTS
Pitch Angle – Fine Adjustment.
On the left and right hand sides:
•
Loosen the Eccentrics Clamps Locknuts ‘
A
’.
•
Turn the Adjustment Handle ‘
B
’ to rotate the
Eccentric Adjusters ‘
C
’ to obtain the required
amount of pitch angle.
•
Re-tighten the Locknuts.
Roller Adjustment.
The Ground Roller ‘
D
’ supports the front of the Harvester
Conveyor. It also applies pressure to the sod ahead
of the Cutter Blade ‘
E
’.
The Roller position can be adjusted ’forward’ or ‘back’
on the Cutter Head Frame, it must be positioned with
the vertical centerline of the Roller is 2 ½ inches ahead
of the Cutter Blade, when the Blade is at its maximum
forward stroke.
The Roller and Blade
must be parallel
to each other, to
avoid ‘tapered’ rolls.
The Roller must be ‘centered’ between the Cutter Side
Arms, to prevent the attaching bolts ‘
F
’ from fouling against
the Roller.
In ‘Peat’ or ‘Muck’ soil conditions the 2 ½ inch dimension,
from Roller Center to Blade, may need to be reduced to
maintain the proper cutting action.
In ‘soft soils’ or ‘excessive thatch’, ‘rolling’ the area to be
cut, before harvesting, will result in easier cutting and a
better quality, tighter roll.
In ‘stoney ground’ conditions it is advisable to move the
Roller ‘forward’, to allow small stones to pass between
the Blade and the Roller.The increase in clearance can
be up to 2 or 2 ¼ inches. Insufficient clearance from Roller
to Blade, causes a ‘pinching action’, resulting in pieces of
sod that are longer than required
Ground Roller Scraper.
The cut length of the sod is measured by the rotation of
the Ground Roller ‘
D
’. The Roller must be kept clean.
The build-up of grass, mud or dirt, on the Roller, can
increase its diameter, resulting in an increase to the
length of cut.
The Roller Scraper ‘
G
’ prevents this build-up. Adjustment
is provided by ‘slotted’ holes. Loosen the fasteners ‘
H
’
and pivot the Scraper until it is ‘just’ clear, (1/32in.), of
the face of the Roller.
Sod Guides.
The Sod Guide ‘fingers’ ‘
J
’ direct the sod from the Cutter
Blade to the Conveyor. Check that they line-up with the
Conveyor Mat, and do not hit against it when operating.
If any Fingers that get ‘bent’ must be straightened before
operating the machine.
