GETTING TO KNOW YOUR GRINDER
OVERHEAD MOWER CLAMP ASSEMBLY
Each overhead mower clamp assembly consists of two
rectangular bar clamps (top and bottom), which also
contain the adjustable holding fixtures. These clamps
will be positioned on the overhead square bar as
shown in FIG.12. They are designed to lock into place
and not move during the grinding procedure. The
holding fixtures can be clamped to the front roller or
another part of the mowing unit.
The flat plate can be bolted directly to the frame.
Insert a bolt through one of the holes in the plate and
tighten to a hole or thread in the cutting unit frame.
See FIG 14.
ROLLER SUPPORTS
There are two roller supports that are mounted to the
square mounting bar. Typically they will be mounted
so that the "V" faces up with the offset toward
the back of the machine. See FIG 15. If necessary
they may be mounted with the offset toward the
front of the machine or the "V" facing the back of
the machine and the offset mounted high or low
depending on the reel type. The hand knobs on the
square bar must be very tight or the reel can loosen
causing poor grind quality.
