Adjusting The Height Of Cut

Each unit comes with a 8mm standard height spacer ring which gives the unit a standard cut height of 40mm. You may add, subtract, or substitute spacers to achieve your desired height of cut. Cut heights must stay between 32mm – 48mm.

To adjust the cutting height, the following must be done:

Position the mower to the transport position and lift it to the upper position.
Set the tractor’s handbrake and disengage the tractor’s engine.
Secure the mower from falling with a chain and an additional support placed under one of the stump jumper disks.
Unscrew the bolts M12x25 (Position 1 in Drawing 3) and disassemble the stump jumper (Position 2 in Drawing 3).
Unscrew the resistance disc bolts (Position 3 in Drawing 3) M12x30 and take it off.
Adjust the cut height and assemble it in the reversed order.
Perform the adjustment in the other stump jumper disc repositioning the support.
