6.3 CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
6.3.1 Cutting deck alignment
The cutting deck should be aligned properly set to ensure a good cut
In order to make the adjustment, you may need to remove the lat-
eral guides which must be put back afterwards.
For achieving good results from
cutting, the front part should always be 5 - 6 mm
lower than the rear.
– Place the machine on flat ground and check the
tyre pressure;
– Put 26 mm blocks (1) under the front edge of the
deck and 32 mm blocks (2) under the rear edge,
then move the lifting lever to position «1»;
– unscrew the nuts (3 - 5 - 7) and locknuts (4 - 6 - 8)
so that the deck rests on the blocks;
– turn the nuts (9) (first remove
the central covering) so that
the rear left connecting rod
(10) starts moving at the
slightest movement of the
lifting lever, and then secure
it in place;
– screw down the rear left nut
(3) until the rear edge of the
cutting deck begins to rise;
– screw down the front nuts (5 - 7) until the front edge of the cutting deck begins to
rise evenly, both on the right and left side;
– screw down the three locknuts (4 - 6 - 8);
Shift the lifting lever to 2 or 3 different positions to check that the deck rises evenly
and that the front and rear edge are at the same height from the ground.
If the front edge tends to rise before or after the back edge, turn the nuts (11) on the
connecting rod (12).
If you tighten the nuts, the front edge will rise first, while if you loosen them, the back
edge rises first.
When you have finished the adjustment, always check that all the nuts and locknuts
are tightened securely.
If the deck is still not correctly aligned, contact your Dealer.
