Cutoff Bar Adjustment
Adjust cutoff bar to assure clippings are cleanly dis-
charged from the reel area.

Note:
The cutoff bar is adjustable to compensate for
changes in turf conditions. The bar should be adjusted
closer to the reel for extremely wet turf. However, adjust
cutoff bar further away from the reel for dry turf. The bar
should be parallel to the reel to assure optimum perfor-
mance. Make sure cutoff bar is adjusted whenever the
shield height is adjusted or the reel is sharpened.
