Cutter Levelling Side to Side
LEVELLING SIDE TO SIDE
Adjustment is best done with the Deck in
a position one up from its lowest cut –
check the level both sides and levelling is
then achieved by adjusting the left
(nearside) of the Deck at two points:
REAR ADJUSTMENT
1. Find the Deck Level Disc (fig 1)
near the back nearside wheel. This has
a concentric slot in which the Deck
Levelling Rod is located.
2. Using a 13mm spanner, loosen the
8mm Nyloc nut A securing this stud
just enough to permit some movement.
3. Now lift or depress the Deck
depending on the adjustment you wish
to achieve. This will move the disc up
or down around the stud B – the higher
up and nearer the centre of the disc the
higher the Deck is lifted on the left
hand side.
4. Check with your ruler or tape and
having levelled the Deck at the rear,
re-tighten the Nyloc nut.
FRONT ADJUSTMENT
1. Having levelled the rear of the Deck
check if the front is level. If not, you
will need to find the Deck Adjustment
Plate (fig 2) which is forward of the
Cutter Deck near the front (nearside)
wheel.
2. Before making adjustments loosen the
two sets of nuts and bolts (A and B)
securing the Deck Levelling Bracket
(C) using a 13mm spanner and 13mm
socket.
3. Then, using a 13mm spanner, loosen
(upper) locknut (D).
4. Now adjust the height by using a
ratchet or spanner to turn the Nyloc nut
(E) clockwise (up) to raise the Deck or
anti-clockwise (down) to lower it.
5. When level is achieved tighten up all
nuts and bolts.
For the closest cut set the anti-scalp
wheels (fig 3) in the middle adjustment
holes. If you are experiencing scalping
this can be minimised by setting the
wheels in the lowest adjustment holes.
