Adjust Roller Scraper
If cutting deck is equipped with a rear roller scraper,
there should be an even gap of .020 to .040 inch (.51 to
1.02 mm) between the scraper rod and rear roller.
Two styles of roller scrapers have been available for the
Groundsmaster 3500--D. Early models used a scraper
rod that was fastened to brackets with lock nuts (Fig. 3).
The scraper system used on later models has a one
piece scraper component (Fig. 4). The adjustment
method for both styles is similar.
1. On scraper rods equipped with lock nuts (Fig. 3),
loosen lock nut securing one end of scraper rod to
mounting bracket. For proper roller scraper adjustment,
there should be approximately .005 to .020 inch (.13 to
.51 mm) end play in loosened rod.
2. Loosen left and right scraper bracket mounting fas-
teners only enough to allow mounting brackets to be ad-
justed:
A. Early models use two flange head screws on
each scraper bracket.
B. Later models use one flange head screw and one
cap screw with jam nut on each side of roller.
3. Slide scraper brackets up or down until a gap of .020
to .040 inch (.51 to 1.02 mm) is achieved between the
scraper rod and roller.
4. Secure mounting bracket fasteners to 30 ft--lb (41
N--m).
5. On scraper rods equipped with lock nuts (Fig. 3),
tighten scraper rod lock nut to 65 in--lb (8.5 N--m).
NOTE: On scraper rods equipped with lock nuts (Fig.
3), if one side of scraper rod becomes worn, it can be ro-
tated in the mounting brackets 180 degrees for a new
edge.
