Troubleshooting (Cutter Levelling)
The Cutter Deck should be set so that it is parallel to the
surface it is cutting with a maximum variation from side to
side or front to back of 3mm.
Levelling Front to Back
You need two people for this operation – one to lift the
Deck while the other removes or relocates the adjuster
Trunnion.
1.
Ensure that the Anti-Scalp Wheels are all set to the
same height – if not, rectify (Figure 36).
2.
Lower the Cutter Deck to a position one above the
lowest setting – check levels with a ruler or tape.
3.
Now locate the Front to Back Adjustment Rod, to
the right rear offside wheel you will find the
Trunnion (Figure 37) that links the rod to the Deck
Hanger Bracket. Both the Trunnion and the Rod
are threaded and adjustment is achieved by
rotating the Trunnion to ‘in-effect’lengthen the Rod.
4.
To free the Trunnion, use a 17mm spanner or
socket to remove the M10 Nyloc nut and washer
and push it free.
5.
Rotate the Trunnion to advance it up the Rod to lift
the back of the Deck. Rotate it the other way to lift
the front. Adjustment is rapid, so try one or two
turns first and relocate the Trunnion and secure –
then check the effect. Repeat and re-check if
necessary.
For best results, set the Anti-Scalp Wheels in the middle adjustment holes. If
you are experiencing scalping, this can be minimised by setting the wheels in
the lowest adjustment holes.

Fitting the Net (Fig 18)
Fit the Net as shown in Figure 18 with the net rod in
position ‘X’. To remove the net, release the net rod and
secure in the removal position ‘Y’.
PGC Connection (Fig 19)
To connect the Powered Grass Collector (PGC) to the
tractor, ensure that both are on an even surface with the
locking levers on the collector facing the Lift Arms on the
tractor. Lift the seat and the PTO flap so that both are
resting in the upright position. Move the Collector
manually to the tractor; lower the lift arms using the lift
lever. Locate the collector channels with the Lift Arms and
push until it stops at its limit.
Installing the Drive Belt (Fig 20)
Place the drive belt over the PTO pulley of the Powered
Grass Collector, and then feed it underneath the PTO flap.
The lower half is pulled left and under the Belt Hook then
fed around the PTO pulley. Be sure that this is installed
the right way round otherwise the brush will work in
reverse and collection will be poor. Lock the Locating
Lever over the Lift Arm Lugs (this also tightens the PTO
Drive Belt). Rotate the Locking Clips over the Locating
Lugs to securely lock the Powered Collector in place. To
disconnect, reverse this procedure. ALWAYS CHECK
BELT TENSION IS 19mm DEFLECTION AT 2KGs
PRESSURE. REFER TO PAGE 14 FOR ADJUSTMENT
