Rear Shield Adjustment
Undermostconditions,bestdispersion isattainedwhen
rear shield is closed (front discharge). When conditions
are heavy or wet, rear shield may be opened.
1. To open rear shield, loosen flange head capscrews
securing shield to right side plate, rotate shield to open
position and tighten screw.
Lift Chain Adjustment
The chain connecting carrier frame to cutting unit con-
trols the amount of fore-aft rotation available, as well as
the amount of ground clearance in transport and turn
around. The chain has a total of 13 links. The chain is
factory adjusted atthe eleventh link, which will work well
for most fairways.
On rougher ground, chain may be shortened to allow for
more ground clearance. To allow greater rotation for
areas with many contours, lengthen chain.
Note:
The position of the screw within the link will af-
fect the chain length.
Adjusting Turf Compensation Spring
The Turf Compensation Spring (Fig. 20), connecting
carrier frame to cutting unit, controls the amount of fore-
aft rotation available, as well as the amount of ground
clearance in transport and turn around.

The Turf Compensation Spring also transfers weight
from the front to rear roller. This helps to reduce a wave
pattern in the turf, also known as bobbing.
IMPORTANT: Make spring adjustments with cutting
unit mounted to traction unit and lowered to shop floor.
Refer to Traction Unit Operator’s Manual for mounting
instructions.

Note:
When cutting rough or undulating turf, increase
compressed length (A) of spring to 8-1/2” (216 mm) and
gap (C) between rear of spring bracket and front of
washer to 1-1/2” (39 mm) (Fig. 20).
Note:
As gap (C) between spring bracket and washer
increases, cutting unit ground clearance decreases
and carrier frame/cutting unit rotation angle (B) in-
creases.
Adjusting Front Cutting Unit Travel
Additional downward travel of the front three cutting
units may be desirable in highly contoured locations. If
