Adjust Rear Roller Scraper
The adjustment of the rear roller scraper depends on the
many conditions of the green (i.e. leaves, seeds, dew,
etc.).
1. Adjust scraper rod locknuts and brackets to attain
.06”–.10” clearance between scraper rod and roller
surface. Distance between bottom of rod and level
surface should be the same height as height-of-cut
setting.

2. Assure scraper rod is parallel to roller and level
surface.
Note: Readjust height of scraper rod if height-of-cut is
changed.
Check Cutting Unit Alignment
The cutting unit must be in alignment with the front yoke
roller so that the machine will track in a straight line
across the greens. The driveshaft must also be aligned
with the transaxle output shaft. If unit is not properly
aligned, use the following alignment procedures.
1. Loosen jam nut securing ball sockets to pull arms on
both side of the yoke (Fig. 15).

2. Slide sleeves back on each ball joint and rotate each
pull arm upward off the ball studs.
3. Align cutting unit with roller and driveshaft with
transaxle shaft and lengthen or shorten pull rods by
threading ball socket on rod (Fig. 15).
4. Align ball sockets with ball studs so hooded portion of
socket is at top and open side toward stud (Fig. 16).

5. Slide the sleeve back on the ball joint and rotate the
pull arm down so the socket fits over the ball stud.
Release the sleeve so it slids forward over the stud and
locks the assemblies together. Tighten the jam nuts to
secure the sockets in position (Fig. 16).
Install Grass Catcher
1. Set pins on basket pivots into brackets on yoke and
allow basket adjusting screw to rest onto yoke
(Fig. 17).

2. Measure distance between lip of basket and edge of
cutting unit shield. There should be a clearance
between the components of no more than 1/4 inch
(6 mm) (Fig. 18). If the dimension is incorrect, adjust
basket.
