Changing the Cutting Unit
from a Front Unit to a
Center Unit
Note:
The center cutting unit does not require a

require the roller guide.
1. Remove the roller guide.
2. Remove the complete roller and height-of-cut
mechanism by unlocking the dome nuts and
removing the dome nuts and locknuts.
3. Slide the roller and height-of-cut adjusters out of
the housings.

Operation

Cutting Unit General
Information
It is important to keep the flail blades sharp and in
good condition to ensure good cutting performance,
minimum power consumption, and good quality of cut.
The flail head is a fine cut flail and should only be
used for maintaining grass. It is recommended that a
maximum of 1/3 of the total grass length is removed
when cut.
The scraper wires are fitted to remove debris from the
roller; in dry conditions these may not be required and
it is recommended that they are removed. In damp or
wet conditions, ensure that the scraper wires do not
get plugged with debris.
The cutting unit floats and can pivot laterally to follow
ground contours.
The cutting units are designed to be operated at full
engine speed. Adjust the forward speed to suit the
grass conditions and to not overload the cutting-unit
motors or the cutting units. The lower the forward
speed, the better the quality of cut and after-cut
appearance.

Adjusting the Height of Cut

Note:
The height of cut is determined by the
rear roller. Blade wear, worn cutting-unit pivots,
bent/damaged cutting-unit pivot shafts, and
bent/damaged arms can affect the height-of-cut
setting.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower
the cutting units, shut off the engine, set the
parking brake, and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2. Turn the adjusting-nut assembly on both ends
clockwise to decrease the height of cut or
counter-clockwise to increase the height of cut
(Figure 6).

Important:
Do not attempt to unlock the nut
assemblies.
3. Ensure that all cutting units are set at the same
height of cut by referring to the indicator rings
(Figure 7).
