Nhazi wheel
The MATV-48 offers versatile wheel mounting options to adapt to different mowing conditions. The wheels can be mounted in three primary configurations:
- Inside the Mower Frame Border (Rear Side): This configuration provides a narrower overall width, suitable for tighter spaces.
- Outside the Mower Frame Side Border (Rear Side): This widens the stance, offering increased stability on uneven terrain.
- Outside the Mower Frame in Line with the Rotor Shaft: This option provides maximum stability and can be beneficial for specific cutting patterns.
Refer to the assembly diagrams for detailed instructions on securing the wheels in your desired position. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
