Cutter - Levelling Side to Side

LEVELLING SIDE TO SIDE

Adjustment is best done with the deck in a position one up from its lowest cut – check the level both sides and levelling is then achieved by adjusting the left (nearside) of the deck at two points:

REAR ADJUSTMENT

1.Find the deck level disk (fig 1) near the back nearside wheel. underneath the actuator lifting arm. This disk has a concentric slot in which the deck-levelling rod is located.

2.Using a 1/2" spanner, loosen the 5/16" Nyloc nut A securing this stud just enough to permit some movement.

3.Now lift or lower the deck depending on the adjustment you wish to achieve. This will move the stud up or down the disk B

– the higher up and nearer the centre of the disk the higher

the deck.

4.Check with your ruler or tape and having levelled the deck at the rear, re-tighten the Nyloc nut.

FRONT ADJUSTMENT

1.Having levelled the rear of the deck, check if the front is level. If not, you will need to find the deck adjustment plate (fig 3) which is forward of the cutter deck near the front (nearside) wheel.

2.Before making adjustments loosen the two sets of nuts and bolts (A and B) securing the deck levelling bracket (C) using a 13mm spanner and 13mm socket.

3.Then using a 13mm spanner, loosen (upper) locknut (D).

4.Now adjust the height by using a ratchet or spanner to turn the Nyloc nut (E) clockwise (up) to raise the deck or anti- clockwise (down) to lower it.

5.When level is achieved tighten up all nuts and bolts except E.

For the closest cut, 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.
