4. Loosen front roller nuts and adjust both ends of the

front roller until it contacts gauge bar at both ends.
With the gauge bar held firmly against the bottom of
the rollers, adjust the front roller so the screw head just
slips over the lip of the bedknife (Fig. 19). Tighten the
front roller nuts.

Final Height-of-Cut Adjustment Using Gauge Bar

Important

 

When set properly, the front and rear

rollers will contact the gauge bar and the screw head will
be snug over the bedknife cutting edge when checked at
both ends of the reel.

5. Loosen lockout pin so cutting unit can float freely

(Fig. 14).

Quick Method for Changing
Height-of-Cut after Initial Setup
of a Floating Cutting Unit

If the reel to bedknife adjustment has been set and the rear
roller leveled to the reel, the cutting unit may be quickly
changed from one height-of-cut to another by using the
gauge bar (Part No. 98-1852) and adjusting the front roller
only. In many cases, an entire machine can be done
quickly by using the gauge bar to set the front roller of
one cutting unit. The remaining cutting units can then be
set by loosening their front roller jam nuts and turning
each front roller adjustment knob the same number of
turns and in the same direction as the first unit.
