SUPER CERTES/SUPER BOWL: HEIGHT OF CUT
ADJUSTMENT
(Fig. 18)
The cutting height is determined by the position of the
front roll in relation to the bottom blade; variation of this
setting is made by adjusting the front roll:
1. Loosen the bolts (D) securing the front roll
brackets on both sides of the machine.
2. Set the roll at the required height by either
turning the handscrew (A) clockwise to raise
the height of cut or anticlockwise to lower the
height of cut. Check that the setting is the
same at both sides of the machine.
NOTE: The hexagon spacer and locking nut do not
need to be altered during this operation.
3. 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 that 5mm (3/16in) in dry conditions and
6mm (¼in) in wet conditions. Check the
setting at both ends of the bottom blade. A
height of cut 3mm (1/8in) with special thin
blade can be obtained for fine finishing
providing that the area to be cut is of
high standard.
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.

CYLINDER TO BOTTOM BLADE ADJUSTMENT

(Fig. 19)
To check that the cutting cylinder is set correctly to the
bottom blade: tilt the machine back, hold a thin piece of
paper between the edge of the blade and spiral cutters
and turn the cylinder manually.
The paper should be cut cleanly along the length of the
bottom blade, if not some adjustment is necessary
BUT DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN - the cylinder must be
able to turn freely.
Adjustment is made by loosening the locknut (A) and
turning the adjustment screws (B) clockwise to move
the cylinder towards the blade.
It is recommended that an eighth of a turn is made
alternately to each screw, checking frequently with the
paper until the correct setting is achieved.
WARNING
Turn petrol tap to the "OFF" position before tilting
the machine rearwards.
