OPERATION
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The factory reel depth setting gives a maximum of
1" (25 mm) turf penetration on level terrain, and a
reel to ground clearance of 1 1/2" (38 mm) when
reel lift lever is in the transport (raised) position.
NOTE : Initial depth adjustment should be made with
the unit on a level surface. If level surface is
concrete, the reel blades must not touch the surface
when lifting lever is in the lowered position.
Never cross hard surfaces or objects
(sidewalks, driveways, stepping stones etc.)
with reel blades down and/or engaged.
Fine depth adjustment is made by turning the
adjusting screw G clockwise (down) to raise reel
from the turf, and turning the adjusting screw
counterclockwise (up) to lower reel into the turf.
Tighten locking nut H after each reel adjustment.
Low tire pressure may cause uneven reel
penetration. Correct tire pressure should be
maintained to eliminate this possibility (refer to the
Tire Pressure section of this manual, for
recommended tire pressure).
