Hayter Mowers 453 - Manual (Page 16)

The cutting height of your mower has been set at the highest position (1).
If you prefer a lower cut follow these instructions:
a. Turn the petrol tap to the off position and where fitted the vent screw.
b. Disconnect the spark plug lead.
c. Tilt the mower to its side. (Keeping the carburettor uppermost.)
d. Remove the retaining bolt with the spanner provided whilst holding the
blade or disc. Make sure your hands are adequately protected from the
cutting edge.
e. Reposition the spacers as required. See diagrams for cutting device
option.
Note for the 446 Hovertrim: One spacer is required above the disc at
all times.
NOTE: The large spacer must be positioned directly below the impeller at
all times.
TIGHTEN THE BLADE RETAINING BOLT - USE ONLY THE SPAN-
NER PROVIDED.
To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and remove all
objects which when contacted by the mower cutterbar could become
dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which
when contacted by the cutterbar could risk health and safety or result
in damage to the mower. Remember the location of these obstructions
and ensure that you mow around them.
