Loosen the adjustment rod locknut and turn the
adjustment rod to adjust the cutting height. The
cutting height is indicated by the end of the
adjustment rod on the cutting height decal. When
cutting height has been achieved, tighten the
ground roller bracket locknuts and the adjustment
rod locknut securely. Be sure both sides of the flail
are adjusted the same.
ADJUSTING STANDARD DUTY CUT HEIGHT
To adjust the cutting height of the standard duty flail
head the two nuts on the roller shaft brackets must
be taken off and moved to the desired location/
height. Be sure that both sides of the shaft are
adjusted to corresponding holes so the shaft
remains level.

STARTED OR PUMP IS COUPLED TO MOTOR OR P.T.O.! Failure to do so will result in component failure!
