Check Transaxle Oil Level
Adjusting Height-of-cut
Check transaxle oil level before initial startup and after
every 50 hours of operation.
Effective cutting height is dependent upon the condition
of the turf grass and the selection of various combinations
of skids or rollers available for the Greensmaster 500.
Effective height-of-cut on a green is influenced by the
type of grass, frequency of mowing, amount of thatch and
resilience of the soil — which is affected by the moisture
and organic matter content. The Greensmaster 500
provides an opportunity to select rollers, skids or
bedknives suitable for all types of greens turf grasses. For
example, progressively lower heights-of-cut with the same
gauge setting may be obtained by selecting, in the
following order: the skid, full front roller, sectional roller
or the Wiehle roller. The reason for this is that
1.
Place mower on level surface and remove pipe plug at
rear of gear case. Oil should be to bottom of hole
(Fig. 7).
progressively less supporting or contact area is provided
for the cutting unit. The micro-cut bedknife provides a
height-of-cut to 1/16, if desired.
1.
Loosen nut on gauge bar and set adjusting screw to
obtain desired distance between bottom of screw head
and face of bar (Fig. 9). Tighten nut, making sure
adjustment is not altered.

4.
Loosen top nut on adjusting screws on each side plate
(Fig. 10) and turn adjusting nut to raise or lower front
roller or skid assembly (Fig. 10). Adjust to make
contact with outer end of gauge bar. When proper
adjustment is obtained, screw head on gauge bar will
just pass over cutting edge of bedknife (Fig. 10).
ASSURE HEIGHT-OF-CUT IS EXACTLY
IDENTICAL AT BOTH ENDS OF BEDKNIFE.
