Cutting Units
Checking or Adjusting Attitude (Used Cutting Units)
Note:
As a starting point for adjusting cutting unit atti-
tude, the cutting unit may be set up using the dimensions
from Table 1. However, because of wear on the bedknife
and reel, the following procedure must be used to en-
sure the correct attitude setting.
1. Rotate cutting unit backward to gain access to reel
and bedknife.
2. Place an angle indicator, Toro Part No. 99−3503, on
the bedknife and record the bedknife angle (Fig. 15).
3. Using a two-screw gauge bar, Toro Part No.
98-1852, set first screw to desired height-of-cut.
4. Place the gauge bar across front and rear rollers.
The first screw head needs to fit snugly over edge of the
bedknife, while the gauge bar contacts the front roller
(Fig. 16).
Note:
The rear roller does not have to contact the
gauge bar.
5. Adjust second screw to contact bedknife. Move rear
roller up, if needed.
6. Place an angle indicator on the gauge bar and record
the gauge bar angle (Fig. 16).
7. Adjust the front roller to your desired cutting unit atti-
tude:
Bedknife Angle (step 2.)
− Gauge Bar Angle (step 6.)
= Cutting Unit Attitude (degrees)
Note:
Moving the front roller down will decrease your
cutting unit attitude, while moving the front roller up will
increase cutting unit attitude (Fig. 16).
