Characteristics
The single knob bedknife–to–reel adjustment system in-
corporated in this cutting unit simplifies the adjustment
procedure needed to deliver optimum mowing perfor-
mance. The precise adjustment possible with the single
knob/bedbar
design gives the necessary control to pro-
vide a continual self–sharpening action. This feature
maintains sharp cutting edges, assures good quality of
cut, and greatly reduces the need for routine
backlap-
ping.
In addition, the rear roller positioning system permits op-
timum bedknife attitude and location for varying height–
of–cuts and turf conditions.
If a cutting unit is determined to be out of adjustment,
complete the following procedures in the specified order
to adjust the cutting unit properly
.
1. Adjust the bedknife parallel to the reel.
2. Set height–of–cut and level the rear roller.
3. Verify height–of–cut and level the front roller.
4. Verify reel to bedknife clearance.
Refer to the Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual for adjust-
ment procedures.
