Mounting Depth Wheel
The depth wheel is included in the scope
of supply or is available as a special
accessory.
It limits the working range of the mowing
line.
It helps reduce the risk of the
–
rotating mowing line causing
damage (e.g. tree bark).
It maintains the correct ground
–
clearance when edging.

The depth wheel (1) can be locked in
three different positions (A, B or C) on

diameter of the depth wheel, e.g. for
lawn edging.
B
Working range of mowing line
extends up to outside diameter of
depth wheel.
C
Working range of mowing line does
not reach as far as outside diameter
of depth wheel, e.g. for mowing
around trees.
