9. WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The machine is fitted with a front roller as standard, but can also be supplied with front wheels
(prod. no. 241.180.008). These enable turning corners with the machine when flail mowing and/or
sweeping.
Therefore, there are 2 ways to adjust the working depth of the machine.
1. By adjusting the front roller.
2. By adjusting the optional front wheels.
Fig. 9
9.1 ADJUSTING WORKING DEPTH USING THE FRONT ROLLER
Proceed as follows to adjust the working depth:
(See Fig.6)
!! NEVER CRAWL UNDERNEATH THE MACHINE !!
Switch the tractor off and apply the parking brake.
Ensure that the machine is properly blocked and cannot move independently.
If wind vanes (See fig. 9 item 4) have been fitted, never increase the depth to
ensure that the wind vanes remain above the surface. !! If this is not observed,
the surface and the machine can be seriously damaged!!
!! Adjust the working depth carefully; if the setting is too deep the machine
and the surface can be seriously damaged !!
1. Rotate the spindles 1 on both sides to the desired working depth B and align on both sides.
Use the indicator stickers on the spindles for this.
2. Loosen the bolts 2 on both sides of the machine and adjust the rear roller using nuts 3 until
the distance above the ground A is 10mm (0.4") and align on both sides.
Use the
indicator stickers on the spindles for this.
This prevents the grass layer being removed by the head.
3. Secure the nuts 3 and bolts 2 properly.
4. Run a test strip to verify that the correct working depth has been achieved.
