4.1   CUTTING SETTING
With use it will become necessary to adjust the cut-

ter closer to the bottom blade. The cutter is correct-

ly set when it LIGHTLY touches the bottom blade 

along its FULL length. Hard bearing or uneven set-

ting causes excessive or uneven wear to the cutting 

edges, and places undue load on the engine.

1.  Drain the petrol from the fuel tank.

2.  Remove the spark plug lead from the spark 

plug.

3.  Tilt the mower back on the rear roller and 

support the lower handle bars 250mm off 

the ground. Note: If the mower is to be 

damage. Figure. 6.

4.  Hold a narrow strip of newspaper between 

the cutter and the bottom blade while 

carefully rotating the cutter by hand. The 

setting is correct if the paper is cut when 

tested at several points along the full length 

of the blade. The cutter must be free to 

rotate without binding.

Lower the mower back to the ground, refuel with 

petrol and replace the spark plug lead onto spark 

plug.

1.  Loosen the clamping nuts (A) on both sides of

the mower Figure 7.

2.  To set the cutter closer to the bottom blade, 

turn the adjusting screws (B) on both sides of

the mower anti-clockwise until the cutter just 

contacts the bottom blade at both ends.

 

Figure 7.

3.  If the cutter bears down too hard on the bot-

tom blade, turn the adjusting screws clockwise 

at least one turn, then repeat Step 2 until the 

blade is set correctly.

4.  Retighen the clamping nuts (A) Figure 7.

5.  Retest the cutter setting. After resetting the 

cutter, the cutter drive chain will need to be 

checked and adjusted. Refer to section 4.2.

If, after adjusting the cutter setting, a satisfactory 

cut cannot be achieved, the blades may require 

sharpening or replacement. Return the mower to an 

authorised Rover Mower service dealer for blade 

sharpening and setting.

After adjusting the cutter setting or after pro-

longed use, the cutter drive chain may require 

re-tensioning.
