M.E.Y. Equipment – 26” Twin Clutch VERTIMOWER 4
SETTING UP THE VERTIMOWER
• To obtain an even depth of cut, setting up the vertimower correctly is important
and the following procedure is recommended.
• Turn off petrol.
• Turn engine to Top Dead Centre (TDC).
• Lay back mower on 20 ltr drum or catcher.
• Place straight edge between back and front rollers, chain case side.
• Measure from tip of blade to straight edge and adjust front roller to the desired
cutting depth - normally the first pass might be at -2mm and then the cam adjuster
would allow this to be increased to -6mm
• Check alignment of front roller to cutting blade and adjust front roller
accordingly.
• Rub chalk on back roller.
• Check back roller alignment to front roller.
• Adjust back roller accordingly by rotating the back roller cam.
• Re-check height on chain case side using your straight edge.
OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the following checks be made before operation of the vertimower:-
• Check engine oil level - top up with manufacturer’s recommended lubricant.
• Check that the air filter is clean - follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Grease the nipples on the drive shaft bearings.
• Oil the cutter clutch, remove the slotted countersunk screw from the female
clutch cone and add a couple of drops of light engine oil, add two or three drops
of oil through the male clutch cone hole between the clutch forks ( you may need
to rotate either of the cones for the lubrication points to be readily accessible).
• Adjust the cutter reel height to the required first cut depth - see section on height
adjustment.
• Lubricate the chains on a regular basis with good quality chain oil.
• Check that all the vertimower’s bolts are secure.
