3. CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 

Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignition before set-up/maintenance. 

Note: Clearance of blades to the ground should be at least 20mm and higher on un-even ground. 

 

Getting the cutting height right is the key to creating the best cut and finish when mowing. The cut 
height can be set by simply adjusting the mower deck height with the wheel spacers.  

There are different sizes of adjusting spacers on the wheel forks which can be used  to achieve a range 
of cutting heights. The spacers are moved from under and above the wheel bracket to achieve the 
desired height.  

Always make sure all spacers are in the same position on all wheels to ensure an even and level cut.
