A special tool is available that ensures that each mowing unit cuts at the same height, and also that the Reels and Bed-knives are parallel to each other.

To set the cutting height :

•Raise the Reels to transport position. Set the front and rear rollers to ‘minimum height’ by releasing the lock-nuts and turning the front and rear Height Adjusters ‘clockwise’.

•Set the required ‘height of cut’ ‘A’ with the front Adjusting Screw in the Adjusting Bar.

•Position the head of the Adjusting Screw on the Bed-knife Blade.

•Tighten the rear Adjusting Screw, against the Bed-knife Holder, until the Adjusting Bar and the Bed-knife are parallel.

•Turn the front and the rear Height Adjusters until the front and rear rollers contact the Adjusting Bar.

•Tighten the Lock-nuts. Remove Adjusting bar.

Follow the above procedure at both ends of the rollers

to ensure an even height of cut across the Reel.Fig.18 Each mowing unit must be adjusted using the same

method, for all mowing units to cut at the same height.
