Mowing height
The mower has a carrying roller mounted
at the rear. This roller is adjustable with
the screw between 30 and 110 mm
mowing height.
Adjustment takes place after tilting the locking
yoke away from the grip. Then turn the grip
counter clockwise to increase the cutting height –
and clockwise to reduce the height.
Remember after adjustments to tilt the locking
yoke back in over the screw.
The height adjustment is provided with a stop so
the 110 mm height cannot be surpassed.
The mower can be equipped with two different
types of flails: playing field flails or Y-flails. Both
types are movably suspended in shackles.
The L-flails are often used on finer surfaces, where a good-looking end result is required. The
Y-flails are well suited for high grass on rough surfaces.
The flail mower is designed and approved according to the EN 745 stipulations, and therefore
other flail types than those prescribed must not be used. Replace the rubber or the chains at the
mower front at once, if they get damaged, because otherwise there is an increased risk of
fragments being thrown out in front of the mower.
On the left side of the mower there is a sticker indicating
cutting heights, on a scale between 1 and 7.
The table shows the cutting heights for Y-flails and playing
field flails respectively. It is a precondition that the mower is
standing on a hard, flat and even surface when the height is
adjusted.
The machine is standard supplied with Y-flails.
Warning
: It is not allowed to remove the stop because the machine will then not live up to the
safety requirements according to the standard EN 745.
The recommended cutting height varies a great deal as it depends on the terrain, type of surface,
flail type and height of the vegetation. But it is important always to set the height in such a way
that the flails never touch the ground because this might damage the machine and reduce the life
of the flails.
Warning
: The cutting height must never be adjusted when the motor is running.
