ADJUSTING FOR WORK
The cutter should be operated at the highest position which will give desired cutting results. This will
help prevent the blades from striking the ground, reducing blade wear and undue strain on the machine.
For best results under heavier cutting conditions, always tilt the cutter approximately 2 inches (51mm)
lower in the front. This tilt decreases horsepower requirements and increases potential ground speed.
When fine shredding is desired, adjust cutter deck level or slightly lower in the rear. This will keep the
foliage under cutter until thoroughly shredded. More power is required for shredding. Each cutter can be
adjusted to several cutting heights. The BH400/BH500 Series can be adjusted from 2’’ to 12’’ of cutting
height. To adjust, raise cutter and block securely in position. Remove bolt from adjusting bracket. Adjust
tailwheel frame up or down and secure in desired position.
