Setting the Groomer Height

BARONESS PEDESTRIAN MOWERS GROOMER ADJUSTMENT
The setting bar for the Baroness LM56/66 range of mowers has two adjusting screws which
are used as follows:
This setting bar needs to be set as follows:
Groomer height setting screw. If no groomer
is fitted then this screw is not used.
Height of Cut Setting Screw
This end of this screw (as shown) needs to
be adjusted so that it measures the same
distance as the desired groomer setting.
This screw needs to be adjusted so that the
distance between the setting bar and the underside
of the head of the screw (as shown) is adjusted so
that it measures the same distance as the desired
height of cut.

Before you can adjust the groomer you will need to make sure that the height of cut is set
correctly.
With the height of cut already set, fit the
setting bar to the machine as shown so
that the underside of the head of the
height of cut adjusting screw is sitting on
the cutting surface of the bottom blade
and that ends of the setting bar are
resting up against the rear and front
rollers.
With the groomer height already set
on the setting bar as previously
shown, check the distance between
the tips of the groomer blades and
the setting bar adjusting screw as
shown.
In this photograph the groomer is
set too high as there is a gap
between the tip of the blade and
the setting screw.
To adjuster the groomer height you will
firstly need to slacken the adjustment
locking nuts as shown.
Once they are loose, nip them up finger
tight in order to remove excess play but
to still allow the adjustment to take
place.
Repeat this on both sides of the
machine.

Next, loosen the two adjuster nuts which
are locked together by holding the
bottom one fixed whilst rotating the top
one anti-clockwise. The top nut should
then come loose allowing both nuts to be
rotated.
Repeat this on both sides of the machine.
Loosen the top not by twisting it
anticlockwise, and moving it away
from the bottom adjuster nut.
Then twist the bottom adjuster nut
anti-clockwise. This should have the
effect of lowering the groomer.
If it does not, loosen the locking nut a
little more.
Rotate the lower adjusting nuts on both
sides of the groomer until the tips of the
groomer blades are just touching the
end of the setting bar adjuster bolt.
Rotate this nut clockwise to increase the
gap and anti-clockwise to reduce the
gap.
When the tips of the groomer blades
are just touching the adjuster bolt on
both sides then the groomer is correctly
set.

NOTE: Adjust all attachments (de-thatcher and brush) in the same way.
Tighten the groomer height locking nuts
on both sides of the machine.
Re-check the groomer height setting and
if necessary re-adjust.
Once the groomer height is locked off
and checked to be correct you will
then need to lock off the groomer
adjuster nuts.
Do this by holding the bottom nut firm
whilst tightening the top nut against it
by turning it in a clockwise direction.
The act of nipping the two nuts
together will lock them so that they
do not work loose during operation.
The groomer height is now set.
