• Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage. • Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals. • Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the blades; never straighten or weld them. • Use only accessories, attachments, and replacement parts approved by Toro. • On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1 blade can cause other blades to rotate.
Setup Media and Additional Parts Description Qty. Operator's Manual Parts Catalog (not included)—refer to the included postcard for information on obtaining the Parts Catalog 1 Use Review the material and save it in an appropriate place. – Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Product Overview Removing the Cutting Unit from the Carton 1. 2. Specifications Slit the four corners of the carton so that the sides lie flat.
Operation to two complete revolutions. Less than one revolution indicates heavy contact, which means the bedknife and reel must be readjusted for light contact; refer to steps 1, 3, and 4. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. 6. Adjusting the Bedknife to the Reel for Light Contact Important: After the cutting unit is set up and installed on the towing frame, the bedknife and reel must be adjusted for light contact.
paper being cut or a slight drag when the paper is pulled. 7. Rotate the left pivot bolt to raise or lower the bedbar. 8. Insert a long strip of newspaper between the reel blade and the bedknife. While rotating the reel backward, turn the bedknife adjusting knob clockwise, one click at a time, until the paper is pinched lightly, which results in the paper being cut or a slight drag when the paper is pulled. 9.
Note: These are bench settings. The cutting unit will cut at a different height in turf because of grass conditions and the weight of the cutting unit. 4. stopped, repaired, and adjusted or severe damage will result. • Mowing Pattern—To prevent grass from lying down and improved appearance of the turf, alternate mowing directions if possible, each time an area is cut. To make a finer adjustment to the cutting height or to adjust the roller, the adjusting nut may be moved 1/2 notch or 1.
g026932 Figure 9 1. Nicked reel blades 2. Noise – A cutting unit that has sharp cutting edges and is adjusted with light contact will emit a desirable whispering sound when the reel is spinning. By contrast, buzzing, clicking, or metallic sounds during operation indicate that the cutting unit is probably being operated with heavy contact between the bedknife and the reel. Heavy contact causes uneven or wavy wear on the bedknife and reel cutting edges.
Maintenance Lubrication Greasing the Cutting Unit Each cutting unit has 4 grease fittings (Figure 11) that must be lubricated every 8 hours of operation with heavy duty No. 2 wheel bearing grease. g026926 Figure 12 1. 26 cm (10-1/4 inches) 3. g026934 Figure 11 Note: Do not use high pressure hose to clean areas where there are seals or bearings because foreign matter will likely be forced into the bearing. The result will be rapid seal and bearing deterioration.
Checking the Fasteners and Reel Bearings g026924 1. Rotate the center adjusting knob until the bedknife does not contact the reel. Try to spin the reel. If the reel does not spin, adjust the reel bearings; refer to Adjusting the Reel Bearing in the Maintenance Section. If the reel spins freely, proceed to the next step. 2. Try to move the reel back and forth. If the reel can be moved, adjust the reel bearings; refer to Adjusting the Reel Bearings (page 11). 3.
After the reel and bedknife have been ground, perform the following adjustments: 1. Set the height of cut. 2. Adjust the bedknife to the reel. Note: As the reel blades continue to run against the bedknife a slight burr will appear on the front cutting edge surface the full length of the bedknife. If a file is occasionally run across the front edge to remove this burr, improved cutting can be obtained.
Note: The lapping solution must be kept in free flowing condition to get even distribution on the bedknife and reel. The lapping procedure is as follows: 1. Adjust the bedknife to the reel so that light contact is evident. 2. Operate the lapping machine so that the reel turns in a reverse direction. Apply lapping solution continuously and maintain light bedknife-to-reel contact. 3. Stop the lapping machine periodically to check the cutting surfaces for sharpness.
6. carefully slide the shaft through the right side of the roller. Slide the roller shaft into the roller until it penetrates the inner most oil seal on the right side. After the bedknife has been ground and is true, adjust the reel, roller, and wheel bearing; refer to Adjusting the Reel, Roller, and Wheel Bearing (page 14). Adjusting the Reel, Roller, and Wheel Bearing After the initial 30 operating hours, check the reel bearing, roller bearing, and wheel bearing.
