Daily Adjustments
Prior to each day’s mowing, or as required, each cutting
unit must be checked to verify proper bedknife--to--reel
contact. This must be performed even though quali-
ty of cut is acceptable.
IMPORTANT: Light contact is preferred at all times. If
light contact is not maintained, bedknife / reel edges will
not sufficiently self--sharpen and dull cutting edges will
result after a period of operation. If excessive contact is
maintained, bedknife/reel wear will be accelerated, un-
evenwearcanresult,andqualityofcutmay beadverse-
ly affected.

Lower cutting units onto a hard surface, shut off en-
gine and remove key from ignition.

Slowly rotate reel in reverse direction listening for
Note:
As the reel blades continue to run against the
reel--to--bedknife contact. If no contact is evident, turn
bedknife adjusting knob clockwise, one click at a time,
until light contact is felt and heard.
bedknife a slight burr will appear on the front cutting
edge surface the full length of the bedknife. If a file (or
a light face grind) is occasionally run across the front
edge to remove this burr, improved cutting edge sharp-
ness can be obtained.
3.
If excessive contact is felt, turn bedknife adjusting
knob counterclockwise, one click at a time until no con-
tact is evident. Then turn bedknife adjusting knob one
click at a time clockwise, until light contact is felt and
heard.
After extended running, a ridge will eventually develop
at both ends of the bedknife. These notches must be
rounded off or filed flush with cutting edge of bedknife to
assure smooth operation.
