Operation
Adjusting the Height of Cut
You can adjust the height of cut from 26 to 108 mm
(1 to 4-1/4 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments.
You can achieve this by adjusting the blade spacers,
rear axle height, or front caster spacers. Use the
Height-of-Cut Chart (page 8)
of adjustments required.
Adjusting the Blade Height
Adjust the blades by using the 4 spacers (6 mm or
1/4 inch) on the blade spindle bolts. This allows for a
25 mm (1 inch) adjustment range, in 6 mm (1/4 inch)
increments, of cutting height in any axle position. Use
the same number of blade spacers on all the blades to
achieve a level cut (for example, 2 above and 2 below,
1 above and 3 below, etc.).
