6.1 ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DECK
6.1.1 General information
Correct alignment of the cutting deck and blades is an essential condition to achieve even moving
of the grass; the ideal working condition is achieved when:
• the external blades are at the same distance from the ground;
• the front end of the outer blades is 6 mm lower than the rear end.
The deck is supported by four adjustable rods, which can be used to achieve optimal alignment.
6.1.2 Adjusting the blade height
1. Check the tyre pressures.
2. Bring the cutting deck to its highest position.
NOTE
When measuring the blade heights it is recom-
mended to use to use a suitable measuring instrument
(1) or extensible abutments (2).
