Operating Instructions

Daily use
There are various ways to set the cutting height depending on the type
of mower used.
Use four straps or similar with eyes. Place a strap around each wheel
arm, and assemble the four straps in a focal point in the centre above
the mower. Lift the mower from this point.
Adjust the cutting height using the two spindle handles on the top of the
wheel boxes.
A height adjustment scale is attached to the side of the wheel box.
This is only a guide.
1. Determine the cutting height.
2. Measure the current cutting height from the ground to the lower
edge of the rotor guard in centimetres.
3. Start the tractor, lift the mower, and then stop the tractor again.
4. Adjust the wheels in relation to the measured cutting height. On
Triplex mowers, it may be necessary to set the centre mower one
ring higher than the side mowers to take account of the mower's
weight distribution and the ground's carrying capacity.
Example
Measured cutting height ........... 5 cm
Required cutting height ............ 4 cm
Remove the split pin and move the wheel up one ring (one ring = 1 cm),
then reattach the wheel and repeat for all eight wheels.
The mower may have one or two rollers which help to protect the
blades. The rollers have three adjustment options:
• Regular hilly terrain = top setting
• Average hilly terrain = middle setting
• Very hilly terrain = bottom setting
