Adjusting The Cut-Off Bar
Adjust the cut-off bar to assure clippings are cleanly
discharged from the reel area:
1.
Loosen the screws securing the top bar (Fig. 11)
to the cutting unit. Insert a .060 inch feeler
gauge between the top of the reel and the bar
and tighten the screws. Assure the bar and the
reel are equal distance apart across the entire
reel.

Note:
The bar is adjustable to compensate for
changes in turf conditions. The bar should be
adjusted closer to the reel when turf is
extremely wet. By contrast, adjust the bar
further away from the reel when turf conditions
are dry.
The bar should be parallel to the reel to assure
optimum performance and should be adjusted
whenever shield height is adjusted or whenever
the reel is sharpened on a reel grinder.
Install The Grass Basket
1.
Grasp the basket by the top rear lip and slide it
onto the basket mounting rods (Fig. 12).
