Toro 5 Blade Cutting Unit 03527 03528 Reelmaster 5000 5200 D 5400 D Lawn Mower Operators Manual, 2005

Setting Height–of–Cut
Important
To insure proper  setting of height-of-cut,
on each side of  cutting unit.  This adjustment  will
position the bedknife closer  to the reel blades.   Adjust
until light contact is  heard on both ends of  the reels.
these procedures must be  followed in this order:
A.  Adjusting (Parallel) Bedknife  To Reel
B.  Setting Cutting  Unit Attitude
Note: Correct reel  to bedknife contact should not  increase
the reel rolling  torque more than 3 in–lbs. over  the reel
bearing rolling torque  setting  (see Servicing and
Adjusting the reel  bearings for checking reel  rolling
torque).
C.  Leveling Front  Roller
D.  Adjusting The Height Of  Cut
E.  Adjusting Turf  Compensation Kit
Important
Each cutting unit  must be set consistently.
Minor differences in  either height-of-cut,  attitude,
bedknife wear, or  reel blade wear, among cutting  units,
may result in  negative after cut  appearance.
Note: The cutting  unit has been set at the  factory at 1/2”
(13
mm) height-of-cut and the  front roller set in the
normal attitude position  (middle hole in front  brackets).
Also, the bedknife has  been backed off from the  reel to
prevent shipping  damage.
A. Adjusting (Parallel) Bedknife
to Reel
Figure 6
Important
Use only a 3/8 open  end wrench 3” to 6”
Important
insure the cutting unit  cuts grass across the bedknife,  and
the reel and  bedknife wear evenly.
The reel and  bedknife must be parallel to
(76–152
mm) in length for  adjusting bedknife to reel. A
longer wrench will  provide too much leverage and  may
cause distortion of  the mounting plate for the  adjustment
screw.
1.
Rotate cutting unit  backward to gain access to  the reel
and bedknife (Fig.  6).
3.
After adjusting bedknife  to reel, make sure that  both
the top and  the bottom adjustment screws are  secured
on both ends of  the cutting unit (Fig. 5).
4.
Insert 1” (25 mm)  wide piece of newspaper
perpendicular to the  bedknife, and then rotate  the reel
slowly in the mowing  direction to see if the reel  cuts
the paper – do this  on both ends of the bedknife
(Fig. 6).
5.
If paper is cut  on both ends, the bedknife is  parallel to
the reel.  If not,  go back to step 2.

Note: If reel makes  contact on both sides of bedknife  but
still does not cut  paper, cutting unit may need  to be
backlapped (refer to  backlapping) or reel and/or  bedknife
may need to be  reground (refer to Toro manual for
Sharpening Reel and rotary  Mowers, Form No.
80–300PT).
