4.8 Setting Cutting Height
4.8.1 SR460/620
Equipment Required
Tape measure
2 x 19mm allen head socket/key/screwdriver
With reference to Figure 4.26, to alter the minimum height of cut:
4.8.1.1 Fully raise the machine and remove the locking pin (A)
4.8.1.2 Slide the minimum height control sleeve (B) forward or backwards to raise and lower cutting height
respectively.
The sleeve has holes in two directions and can be rotated to give smaller adjustments in cutting height.
For guidance cutting height settings; see Table 4.3.
4.8.1.3 Once the desired height is found replace the pin (A) through sleeve (B) where desired and gently lower
the machine.
NOTE: The sleeve (B) only controls the minimum cutting height; however the operator may raise and lower
the machine by the hydraulic ram when the machine is in operation if required.
Figure 4.26 – SR460/620 Minimum Height Stop
The minimum height control can be orientated in both ways found in Figure 4.26 (A/B); this provides a range of
adjustments in cutting height.
Table 4.3 shows a reference guide as to the minimum height of cut that will result. The data given can apply to
machines fitted with standard and wider optional tyres as shown in Section 1.5.2.6.
This table of data is just for reference to create a ballpark figure for the customer to start from and assumes:
Tyre pressures are correct
Levelling is carried out on perfectly level and firm ground
A brand new machine with no worn components
The machine is perfectly set levelled front to rear as shown in Section 4.7.1
The machine is perfectly set levelled left to right as shown in Section 4.7.2
The machine is perfectly manufactured and there is no tolerance variation in components
Due to this McConnel shows the data below as a reference holding no responsibility for the machine not
achieving the exact quantities given in the table below. It is important for the operator to try out the machine at
the work site with the expectation that they will need to adjust the machine after to get exactly what they require
to fit the working conditions.
