SAFETY, OPERATORS, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS MANUAL
8.6 CONCAVE ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 8.6)
If the grass clippings do not enter the grassbox
satisfactorily then the concave needs adjusting:
1.
Ensure that the concave aligns correctly
with the bottom edge of the bottom block.
2. Release the nuts arrowed either side of
the machine which secure the concave to
the side frame.
3. Move the concave until there is
approxiamately 1.5mm (1/16in) between
the concave and the cutting cylinder,
measured as near to the centre point of
the cylinder as possible.
4. Retighten the screws.
As the cutting cylinder gradually wears, it may
eventually be necessary to slightly flatten the
concave to maintain the 1.5mm (1/16in) gap
between the concave and the cylinder and keep the
grass delivery high into the box in wet conditions.
NOTE: The concave must not touch the cutting
cylinder.
8.7 LANDROLL SCRAPER (Fig.8.7)
To adjust the scraper loosen the nuts (A) at each
end of the scraper and adjust its position.
Tighten the nuts.
