Matching Height-of-Cut Between Cutting Units
1.
Position blade side to side on outside spindle of both
side cutting units. Measure from the floor to the tip of
the cutting edge on both units and compare. These
numbers should be within 3 mm (1/8 inch) of each
other. Make no adjustment at this time.
2.
Position blade side to side on inside spindle of side
cutting unit and corresponding outside spindle of front
cutting unit. Measure from the floor to the tip of the
cutting edge on inside edge of side cutting unit to
corresponding outside edge of front cutting unit and
compare. The side cutting unit measurement should be
within 3 mm (1/8 inch) of the front cutting unit.
Note:
All three cutting units castor wheels should
remain on the ground with counterbalance applied.
Note:
If adjustments need to be made to match the
cut between the front and side cutting units, make the
adjustments to the
side cutting units only
.
3.
If the inside edge of the side cutting unit is too high
relative to the outside edge of the front cutting unit,
remove one 3 mm (1/8 inch) shim from the bottom
of the front inside castor arm on the side cutting unit
(
). Recheck measurement between outside
edges of both side cutting units and inside edge of side
cutting unit to outside edge of front cutting unit.
4.
If inside edge is still too high, remove an additional
3 mm (1/8 inch) shim from bottom of front inside
castor arm of the side cutting unit
and
one 3 mm (1/8
inch) shim from the front outside castor arm of the
side cutting unit.
5.
If the inside edge of the side cutting unit is too low
relative to the outside edge of the front cutting unit,
add one 3 mm (1/8 inch) shim to the bottom of the
front inside castor arm on the side cutting unit. Check
measurement between outside edges of both side
cutting units and inside edge of side cutting unit to
outside edge of front cutting unit.
6.
If inside edge is still too low, add an additional 3 mm
(1/8 inch) shim to the bottom of front inside castor
arm of the side cutting unit
and
add one 3 mm (1/8
inch) shim to the front outside castor arm of the side
cutting unit.
7.
Once cutting height matches at the edges of front and
side cutting units, verify that side cutting unit pitch
is still 8 to 11 mm (5/16 to 7/16 inch). Adjust as
necessary.
Adjusting the Mirrors
Cab model only
Rear View Mirror
While sitting in the seat, adjust the rear view mirror (
) to attain the best view out the rear window. Pull the lever
rearward to tilt the mirror to reduce the brightness and glare
of light.

Aiming the Headlights
1.
Loosen the mounting nuts and position each headlight
so that it points straight ahead. Tighten the mounting
nut just enough to hold the headlight in position.
2.
Place a flat piece of sheet metal over the face of the
headlight.
3.
Mount a magnetic protractor onto the plate. While
holding the assembly in place, carefully tilt the headlight
downward 3 degrees, then tighten the nut.
4.
Repeat the procedure on the other headlight.
