Cutting Height Adjustment:
The cutting height of the equipment depends on the position of the wheels.
If the wheels are raised, the cutting height increases; if the wheels are
lowered, the cutting height decreases.
Make sure that the wheels are set at the same height on both sides.
To adjust the cutting height on the mowers loosen and re- move pin A and
adjust the wheels height according to the bushing B. When the adjustment
is completed, reinsert the pin A.
Adjusting Belt Tension:
In the mowers it is necessary to adjust the belt tension as they stretch;
the correct belts tensioning ensures that the machine works correctly.
To adjust the belts tension:
Remove the two Belt Shields (A).
Loosen the Nuts (B) holding the gearbox in place just enough to allow
the gearbox to be able to move. Turn the bolt C to adjust the tension of
the belts; if you turn the bolt in clockwise direction the belts are
tightened, while turning it counter clockwise they are loosened; when
the belt is tensioned correctly the belt should be able to deflect a
maximum of 10 mm (3/8”). Retighten the Nuts (B). Replace Belt
Shields (A).
