3.
On one end of the front side of the reel, insert a
long strip of newspaper between the reel and the
bedknife (Fig. 5). While slowly rotating the
reel forward, tighten the bedknife adjusting
screw (on same end of the reel), one flat at a
time, until the paper is pinched lightly when
inserted from the front, parallel to the bedknife,
which results in a slight drag when the paper is
pulled (Fig. 4).
Figure 5
Note:
Each time the adjusting screw is rotated
one click, the bedknife moves .0018mm closer
to the reel.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE
ADJUSTING SCREW
.
4.
Check for light contact at the other end of the
reel using the paper and adjust as required.
5.
After adjustment, check to see if the reel can
pinch paper when it is inserted from the front
and cut paper when inserted at a right angle to
the bedknife (Fig. 5). It should be possible to
cut paper with minimum contact between the
bedknife and the reel blades. Should excessive
reel drag be evident, it will be either necessary
to backlap or regrind the cutting unit to achieve
the sharp edges needed for precision cutting
(see Toro reel sharpening manual).
Adjust The Height Of Cut
1.
Verify that the rear roller is level and that the
bedknife-to-reel contact is correct. Tip the
mower back on its handle to expose the front
and rear rollers and the bedknife.
2.
Loosen the locknuts securing the height-of-cut
arms to the height-of-cut brackets (Fig. 6).

2. Height-of-cut bracket
3.
Loosen the nut on the gauge bar (Fig. 7) and set
the adjusting screw to desired height of cut. The
distance between the bottom of the screw head
and the face of the bar is height of cut.
