Important: When set properly, the rear and
front rollers will contact the gauge bar and the
screw will be snug against the bedknife. This
ensures the height-of-cut is identical at both
ends of the bedknife.
7. Tighten nuts to lock the adjustment.
Important: To avoid scalping on undulating
turf, ensure that the roller supports are
positioned rearward (the roller closer to the reel).
Note: The front roller can be put in three different
positions (Figure 44), depending on the application
and needs of the user.
• Use the front position when a groomer is
installed.
• Use the middle position without a groomer.
• Use the third position in extremely undulating
turf conditions.
