Fundamentals of Reel Mowers
Check reel bearings for play and roughness.
Replace if necessary. If adjustable (tapered
roller bearing), adjust to “no“ lash while
maintaining free rotation of the reel.
Before performing any set–up procedures, it is
critical that the reel and knife cutting edges are
straight and sharp. Lap or grind as necessary.
Adjust as needed to ensure the knife and reel
contact their full length with LIGHT contact and
free reel rotation.
Note that different cutting unit models have
different methods of adjusting reel to bedknife
contact. The top illustration shows a four bolt
style adjustment mechanism. The bottom
illustration shows a single point adjustment
mechanism.
Single point adjust cutting units also have an
adjustment mechanism on one end of the
bedknife for adjusting the bedknife parallel to
the reel (not shown). This bedknife leveling
mechanism could may be an eccentric pivot
bolt on one end of the bedbar, or a capscrew /
jam nut assembly.
