Frequently asked questions

The height of cut ‘C’ can be altered to suit grass and/or ground conditions by simple rotation of the handwheel situated immediately forward of the chain cover, see photo page 5.

When cutting grass at various lengths, it may be found that the cuttings tend to be thrown either too high or low in the catcher. in which case poor loading will result. To eliminate this the deflector should be adjusted. This can be done quite simply by slackening off the two bolts ‘A’ on the front edge of the main frame and moving the deflector in or out until the desired effect is obtained, then re-tighten the bolts. If set too far back, grass will be thrown too low in the catcher, or if too close to the cutting reel, grass will be thrown over the top of the catcher.

To adjust the cable anchor rotate the thumb wheel anti-clockwise (viewed from behind the handle) to increase the clutch pressure.

To obtain clean cutting, it is necessary to maintain the setting of the cutting reel relative to the baseplate. When shipped, the setting is correct, but after a period of use, adjustment will be required. It will normally be necessary to move the cutting reel closer to the baseplate to accommodate wear. To do this the adjusting screws ‘B’ on both sides of the machine should be turned clockwise making small alterations to each screw alternately until the cutting reel just makes contact with the baseplate blade. This can be determined by placing a sheet of copy paper between the reel and the blade. Rotate the reel by hand, and the paper should be cut. Once this adjustment has been established THE REEL SHOULD NOT TOUCH THE BOTTOM BLADE BUT STILL CUT THE PAPER. Provided the reel and baseplate are in good condition this setting will give clean cutting without undue reel-to-baseplate pressures.
