ADJUSTMENTS
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Make initial depth adjustment with the unit on a level
surface.
1. Lower the unit to the operating position.
2. Loosen locknut H.
3. Turn adjusting screw G until the blades just touch
the surface.
4. Raise the unit to the transport position. Turn
the adjustment screw G counterclockwise to
get deeper penetration or clockwise to reduce
penetration. 3 1/2 turns of screw G changes
penetration by 1/4" (6mm).
5. Tighten lock nut H after adjustment.
Make a test run to check adjustment.
Increasing depth decreases ground clearance.
HOOK AND CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove transmission belt cover.
2. Loosen the nut D and bolt E securing the latch A .
Slide the latch in the slot so that the latch hook C
captures the reel idler assembly when the clutch
control is disengaged. When only the drive
clutch is engaged, the latch should hold the reel
idler assembly back far enough that the reel belts
will not engage. Retighten the hook mounting
hardware.
3. After the LATCH has been adjusted, Loosen the
two jam nuts B at the top of the cable. Adjust the
bottom nut to take up any slack in the cable. Be
careful not to overtighten the cable or the LATCH
may not hold the reel idler assembly. Use the top
nut to lock the lower nut into place.
NOTE: Never cross hard surfaces or objects
(sidewalks, driveways, stepping stones, etc.) with
reel blades down and/or engaged.
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).
