Adjusting the Rear Roller
Height
Depending on your desired height-of-cut range, adjust
the rear roller brackets (
Figure 14 or Figure 15 ) to the
low or high position:
•
Position the spacer above the sideplate-mounting
flange (factory setting) when the height-of-cut
settings range from 1.5 mm to 6 mm (1/16 inch to
1/4 inch) as shown in
Figure 14 .

in

1. Raise the rear of the cutting unit and place a
block under the bedknife.
2. Remove the 2 nuts securing each roller bracket
and spacer to each sideplate mounting flange.
3. Lower the roller and screws from the sideplate
mounting flanges and spacers.
4. Place the spacers onto the screws above of
below the roller brackets, as required (
Figure
14 or Figure 15 ).
5. Secure the roller bracket and spacers to the
underside of the mounting flanges with the nuts
previously removed.
6. Verify that the bedknife-to-reel contact is correct.
Tip the mower to expose the front and rear
rollers and the bedknife.
Note:
The position of the rear roller to the reel
is controlled by the machining tolerances of
the assembled components and paralleling is
not required. A limited amount of adjustment is
possible by setting the cutting unit on a surface
plate and loosening the sideplate mounting bolts
(
Figure 16 ). Adjust and tighten the bolts when
finished.

Important:
Whenever you must tip the
cutting unit to expose the bedknife/reel, prop
up the rear of the cutting unit to ensure
that the nuts on the back end of the bedbar
adjusting screws are not resting on the work
surface (
Figure 8 ).
Adjusting the Height of Cut
This cutting unit comes standard with the Edgemax
Micro-cut bedknife and standard bedbar. The
effective height of cut depends on previous mower
configurations and turf conditions (i.e., roller type,
bedknife behind center distance, soft or firm greens,
season conditions). Set the initial height of cut 0.25
mm to 0.38 mm (0.010 to 0.015 inch) higher than the
previous greensmower setup and adjust it to match
conditions.
