Adjusting the height
To get the most out of your flail mower, it must be installed within the recommended height. To
spare fuel, power and reduce wear and tear on the machine, the cutting height must be adjusted
correctly.
When the working height needs to be adjusted, bolt No. 1 must be loosened, and bolt No. 2
removed on both sides. The height of the carrier roller (see drawing below) can be adjusted by
adjusting the selected hole in the carrier roller bracket in position 2.
In the lowest hole, it is the
highest working height.
Put the screw in the selected hole and tighten the screw from bolt No. 1
and bolt No. 2.
The rest of the height adjustment is made with a raise/lower
of the tractor's lift arms and corresponding adjustment of the
top bar.
Do not carry passengers on the flail mower:
Passengers can block the driver's sight and therefore
cannot see where they are being driven. Never allow
passengers on the flail mower.

the
parking, turn off the engine and
