Balancing the cutting
unit
The balancing of the machine's cutting unit should be adjusted so that
the downward pressure on the machine's cutting unit is about 40-60
kg (90-130 lb).
The balancing of the cutting unit is adjusted in the following way:
Undo the counter nuts with the springs on both sides of the
machine.
Screw the bolt indicated.
• When the bolt is screwed clockwise the cutting unit's downward
pressure decreases.
• When the bolt is screwed anticlockwise the cutting unit's downward
pressure increases.
Adjust the cutting unit's downward pressure for both springs.
Secure the counter nuts with the springs on both sides of the
machine.
Check by lifting the cutting unit by hand, gripping both sides of the
cutting unit in the places shown.
When checking the suspension, position yourself in front of the cutting
unit and lift the cutting unit up as shown.
The weight on both sides of the cutting unit must be approximately 40-
60 kg (90-130 lb) when lifting by hand.
