6. Verify height of cut and level the front roller.

7. Verify reel-to-bedknife clearance.

Thoroughly read both cutting unit and

traction unit operator manuals. Failure to do so may

result in damage to the cutting unit and/or poor

performance.

Mounting the Front Roller

1. Remove the 2 lock nuts securing each angle

bracket to the cutting unit (Fig. 1).

4. Support cap screw

2. Remove the height-of-cut pins (Fig. 1).

3. Insert the smaller-diameter shaft end of the roller

into the white bushing in the roller bracket (Fig.

1), making sure the flanged end of the nylon

bushing faces inside toward the roller. The hex of

the roller bracket must mate with the hex of the

adjustment nut.

4. Install the roller bracket onto other shaft end of

the roller. The hex of the roller bracket must mate

with the hex of the adjustment nut.

5. Hold one roller bracket stationary and use the

other bracket as a wrench to loosen or tighten

bearing clearance to allow the roller to rotate

freely and to eliminate bearing end play.

If end play is excessive, seal failure

may occur resulting in reduced bearing life.

6. Roller brackets must be aligned for installation

onto the cutting unit. If necessary, to align after

bearing adjustment, remove the roller bracket on

the side with the flanged nylon bushing, align

with the opposite roller bracket within ± one hex

flat and replace.

7. Install height-of-cut pins in the 1/4 in. (6mm)

setting. This will get the roller out of the way for

later adjustments

8. Install the 2 lock nuts securing each angle bracket

to the cutting unit.

Adjusting the Front Shield

The front shield is shipped from the factory raised at

approximately a 25-degree angle. The shield can be

adjusted for desired grass clippings dispersion.

1. Position the cutting unit on a flat level surface.

2. Loosen the pivot screw securing the shield to the

side plate. Move the shield to the desired angle

and tighten the screw (Fig. 2).

Note: To secure shield in down position, use

mounting screws threaded into cross tube.
