CUTTERHEAD GENERAL INFORMATION
The mower is designed to be used with MK3 200mm fixed or floating cutterheads or MK3 254mm fixed cutterheads.
It is essential that the relationship between the bottom blades and the cutting cylinders are kept in good adjustment and that cutting edges are kept sharp to ensure good cutting performance, minimum power consumption and prolonged life for the cutting edges, refer - MAINTENANCE - Cutterheads.
Fixed MK3 200mm/254mm Cutterheads: When the mower is set up with fixed cutterheads the height of cut is gauged by the rear roller and the cutterhead is allowed to pivot laterally to follow ground contours. This arrangement is normally recommended for general mowing requirements.

Floating MK3 200mm Cutterheads: When the mower is set up with floating cutterheads the height of cut is gauged by the front and rear rollers. The cutterhead is allowed to pivot fore and aft as well as laterally. This arrangement is recommended for high quality grass areas and performs well where grass is short and the ground undulations are severe.
