ADJUSTMENTS
Cut-Off Blade
If the Cut-Off Blade ‘ A ’ does not cut ‘completely’ through
the sod when the Spring Shaft is in the desired location,
reposition the Cut-Off Blade Frame ‘
B ’ one hole lower
on the Cut-Off Frame ‘ C ’.
The Cut-Off Blade depth is reduced over time by wear,
and by sharpening. If a blade is less than 2 ½ inches in
depth, it must be replaced.
Check that the edge of the Cut-Off Blade Mount ‘
D ’ does
not hit the sod, on the ‘down’ stroke, as this will damage
the sod and cause problems when the sod is ‘laid’.
NOTE
A Serrated Blade is available for use in soft soil, or
excessive thatch. This Blade will give a cleaner more
positive cut.
The Urethane Tension Straps ‘
E ’, allow the Blade to
‘swing’ with the forward travel of the machine as the
cut is made. When the machine is stationary the Blade
should hang in the vertical position. Any Change to the
shape, or position, of the Tension Straps attaching hooks,
will change the angle of the blade.
Pitch Angle
Pitch Angle is the angle that the Cutter Blade makes
relative to the ground. The Pitch Angle is set at the
factory for average cutting conditions.
Pitch Angle can be adjusted to improve cutting perfor-
mance in soft or hard soils.
In soft conditions the Pitch Angle should be set so that
the Cutting Blade is almost ‘parallel’ to the ground.
In hard soil the Blade Angle should be increased, this
maintains the correct cutting angle, and also prevents
the Cutting Head from coming out of the ground.
IMPORTANT
When the Pitch Angle is changed, the relationship
of the Cutting Blade to the Conveyor Mat, and also
the Ground Roller,
must be maintained.
The Front Idler Shaft of the Conveyor Mat can be
adjusted to ensure that there is no interference be-
tween the Mat and the Blade.
Refer to the Ground Roller adjustment instructions
for the correct Roller to Blade set-up.
Pitch Adjustment.
At the factory the Bearings ‘ F ’ are located in the ‘center’
set of holes in the frame, this is the ‘normal’ setting.
•
Move the bearings to the front holes ‘ G ’, (maxi-
mum pitch), for hard soil.
•
Or, move the bearings to the rear holes, (mini-
mum pitch) for soft soil.
For ‘fine adjustment’ of the Blade Pitch, see page 5-6.
