M.E.Y. Equipment – 26” Twin Clutch VERTIMOWER 5
MOWER CARE TIPS
• When cleaning the mower, avoid using pressure hoses of air or water which may
force grit into the bearings, oiled clutch and the engine.
• The twin clutch enables the cutter reel to be stationary when moving over hard
paved areas and for loading. This minimises accidental blade damage from hard
objects.
• The M.E.Y. Vertimower has been designed to throw approximately 75% of the
grass The motor should not be inclined more than 45° when adjusting the blade
setting, servicing the machine or loading it onto trailers or other transport. This is
to prevent sump oil entering the cylinder or carburetor.
• When using a ramp to load the mower for transportation, avoid exposed nuts or
steel fastenings that may damage the blade or cause the rear roller to skid out of
control.
• clippings into the catcher. The deflector can be adjusted to maximise the
performance.
CLUTCH CONTROLS
All vertimowers are fitted with two clutches which enables either the back roller drive or
the cutter reel to be used individually or both together. Ensure that the vertimower blades
are lifted above the ground before testing the cutter clutch.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The front roller side plates are secured by two pivot point nuts and two locking bolts with
nuts operating in a radiused slot. By loosening these four nuts, the front roller can be
moved to increase or decrease the cutter depth. A straight edge can be used to measure
the required setting.
In addition, a quick cam height adjuster is fitted to provide up to 4mm variation. The
special spanner provided with the vertimower can be used to free off the roller end bolts
and the cams can then be rotated. 90° represents 2mm and the full 180° gives 4mm
change. It is essential that the cams are set at the same position each end to provide an
even cut. Both end bolts need to be secured prior to operating the vertimower.
