5.2 REGULATING PLAY BETWEEN BLADE AND LEDGER
PLATE
Model ESM mower bar.
See fig.6
The blade sections n.2, under ledger plate n.3, should be almost without play.
Guide block n.4 must be installed parallel with the angled rear of blade section
n.2.
Blade sections should protrude about 0.5-2mm beyond bar sections n.1.
X play will be between 0.1-1mm and permit the cutting blade to be moved by
hand without encountering too much resistance.
To adjust play, follow these steps:
- Play between blade sections n.2 and ledger plate n.3: slacken off screw n.6.
- X play: slacken off screws n.5, move guide block n.4 and ledger plate n.3. Re-
tighten screws n.5.
5.3 CHANGING THE BLADE
CAUTION! Before changing the blade, locate the mower in a stable
position, brake the cultivator and switch the engine off.
To change the blade: - remove screws n.3 fig1-2 fixing the blade head and
remove the blade from the left side of the mower bar.
Note: when installing the blade head, make sure that the blade drive bearing has
no axial play.
