IMPORTANT: Each reel must be set consistently.
Minor differences in either height of cut or attitude
between cutting units may result in inconsistent
quality of cut.
ADJUST THE GRASS SHIELD
AND FINS
Adjust grass shield and/or shield fin angle for desired
grass clipping dispersion. For best dispersion under
most conditions:
1. Position the cutting unit on a flat level surface.
2. To adjust fins, unhook and move the front
mounting tab to the straight-ahead or angled
position slot.
3. To change grass shield angle, loosen the capscrew
(Fig. 11) securing the shield to the left side plate,
move the shield to desired angle and tighten screw.

ADJUST THE REAR SHIELD
Under most conditions, best dispersion is attained when
the rear shield is closed (front discharge).
When conditions are heavy or wet, the rear shield may
be opened.
1. To open the rear shield, loosen the capscrews
securing the shield to each side plate, rotate the
shield to the open position and tighten the screws.
ADJUST LIFT CHAIN
The chain connecting the carrier frame to the cutting
unit controls the amount of fore-aft rotation available
and the amount of ground clearance in transport and
turn around. The chain has 13 links. The chain is factory
adjusted at the eleventh link, which will work well for
most fairways.
On rougher ground, the chain may be shortened to allow
for more ground clearance. To allow greater rotation for
areas with many contours, lengthen the chain.
Note: The position of the screw within the link will
affect the chain length.
