Setting Up Your Machine 

 

 

Height 

To alter the height of cut; raise the machine so the wheels are clear of the ground, 
remove pin 

(Fig. 3) adjust the wheel arm, replace pin 

(Fig 3) and gently lower the 

machine until the wheel contacts the ground. Now adjust the height of the tractor link 
arms so the front of the mower is 25mm (1”) higher at the front 

c

The top link must be adjusted to ensure the wire ropes are slack, so the machine can 
follow  undulating  ground  fore  and  aft,  but  still  allow  the  machine  to  lift  when  the 
tractor link arms are fully raised.
