MARQUIS: HEIGHT OF CUT ADJUSTMENT

The cutting height is determined by the position of the
front rolls in relation to the bottom blade, variation of
this height is made by adjusting the front roll. A range
of cut between 6mm and 27mm can be achieved with
the adjustments explained below.
45cm and 51cm (18in and 20in) machines (Fig. 16)
Pull out the pin (A) on both sides of the machine and
replace it in one of the other 3 holes (coarse
adjustment). Towards the front of the machine will
increase the height of cut, towards the back of the
machine will lower the height of cut. For fine
adjustment the screw (B) should be turned.
61cm (24in) machine (Fig. 17)
The height variation is made by adjusting the front roll
by means of a hand wheel (C).
To raise the height of cut the roll has to be lowered and
this is achieved by turning the hand wheel clockwise.
To lower the height of cut the roll has to be raised.
Turn the hand wheel anticlockwise.
To ensure that the height of cut is set correctly, tilt the
machine back and place a straight edge across the
front and rear rolls. The gap between the bottom blade
cutting surface and the straight edge should not be less
than 6mm (¼in). Check the setting at both ends of the
bottom blade.
NOTE: The front roll should never be set so that the
bottom blade is pressing on the turf; this will damage
the spiral cutters, bottom blade and the turf.

MARQUIS: ALIGNING THE FRONT ROLLS

Should the front rolls become out of true with the
bottom blade, adjust accordingly:
1. Slacken the nut on the front roll carriage, left
hand side for the 61cm (24in) machine, right
hand side for 45cm and 51cm (18in and 20in)
machine.
2. Place a straight edge between the front and
rear rolls and check the variation in the
measurement between the bottom blade
cutting edge and the straight edge at both
sides of the machine.
3. Reset the front roll carriage so that the
measurement between the bottom blade and
the straight edge is the same on both sides.
4. Retighten the nut.
