Note:
Each time adjusting screw is rotated one flat on
the GR1000, the bedknife moves 0.003 inch (0.076 mm)
closer to the reel. Each time adjusting screw is rotated
one click on  the GR1600, the bedknife  moves 0.0007
inch (0.018  mm) closer  to the  reel. DO  NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN ADJUSTING SCREWS.

C. On  the GR1600,  while slowly rotating  the reel
forward, tighten bedbar adjusting  screw clockwise
one click at a time until the paper is pinched lightly.
D. When inserted from the front and parallel to the
bedknife, a slight  drag on the  paper should result
when the paper is pulled.
4.
Check for light contact at the  other end of the reel
using paper  and adjust as  required. On the  GR1000,
make sure jam nuts on  the adjusting screws are tight-
ened upon completion of the adjustment (Fig. 8).
5.
After the adjustment is accomplished, check to see
Figure 10
if the reel can pinch a strip of paper when inserted from
the front and cut the paper when inserted at a right angle
to the bedknife (Fig. 11).
A.  It should be possible to cut the paper with mini-
mum contact  between  the bedknife  and the  reel
blades.
B.  Should excessive reel drag of more than 7 in–lb
(8
kg–cm) be evident, it will be either necessary to
backlap or regrind the reel and bedknife to achieve
the sharp edges needed for  precision cutting (see
TORO Sharpening Reel and Rotary Mowers Manu-
al, Form No. 80-300 PT).
