1. Rear Wheel Adjustment
2.
Run sodcutter through a couple of cut-off cycles and
determine if the thickness is correct and the cut-off
blade is cutting correctly.
NOTE: A slight jumping of the handle is evident at each
cut, but excessive jumping indicates the cut-off
blade is entering the turf too far. Lower rear wheels
to correct jumping.
If sod is not being cut completely, raise rear wheels
slightly to lower cut-off blade.
When cut-off blade is correctly adjusted, the sod will
roll up slightly at each cutting stroke and there will be
a slight penetration into the soil below the sod with-
out excessive jumping of the handle.
