Reel Bearing Adjustment
To insure long life of the reel bearings, periodically check
if reel end play exits. The reel bearings can be checked
and adjusted as follows:
1.
Loosen reel to bedknife contact by turning the bed-
knife adjusting knob counter–clockwise until no contact
exists.
2.
Hold on to the reel shaft and try to move the reel as-
sembly side to side.
3.
If end play exists, proceeded as follows:
A. Loosen set screw securing bearing adjusting
nut to bearing housing located on the left side of the
cutting unit.
B. Using a spanner wrench, slowly tighten the reel
bearing adjustment nut until no end play of the reel
exists. If adjusting nut does not eliminate reel end
play, replace reel bearings.
NOTE: Reel bearings do not require pre–load. Over
tightening reel bearing adjuster nut will damage reel
bearings.
C. Retighten set screw securing bearing adjusting
nut to bearing housing.
