DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Make initial depth adjustment with the unit on a level
surface.
1. Lower the unit to the operating position.
2. Loosen locknut H.
3. Turn adjusting screw G until the blades just touch
the surface.
4. Raise the unit to the transport position. Turn
the adjustment screw G counterclockwise to
get deeper penetration or clockwise to reduce
penetration. 3 1/2 turns of screw G changes
penetration by 1/4" (6mm).
5. Tighten lock nut H after adjustment.
Make a test run to check adjustment.
Increasing depth decreases ground clearance.
NOTE: Never cross hard surfaces or objects
(sidewalks, driveways, stepping stones, etc.) with
reel blades down and/or engaged.
Low tire pressure may cause uneven reel
penetration. Correct tire pressure should be
maintained to eliminate this possibility (refer to the
Tire Pressure section of this manual, for
recommended tire pressure).
