Front Grass Shield Adjustment; Rear Shield Adjustment; Cut-Off Bar Adjustment - Toro Reelmaster 5200-D Service Manual

Front Grass Shield Adjustment

Adjust front grass shield for desired grass clippings dis-
persion.
1. Position cutting unit on a flat level surface.
2. Loosen capscrews and nuts securing shield to each
side plate. Move shield to desired angle and tighten fas-
teners (Fig. 20).

Rear Shield Adjustment

Under most conditions, best dispersion is attained when
rear shield is closed (front discharge). When conditions
are heavy or wet, rear shield may be opened.
1. To open rear shield, loosen flange head capscrew
securing shield to right side plate, rotate shield to open
position and tighten screw (Fig. 21).

Cut-Off Bar Adjustment

The Cut–Off bar is designed to keep the gap between
the reel and the Cut–Off minimal to insure grass clip-
pings discharge cleanly from reel area.
Note: The gap between the Cut–Off bar and reel will
increase as: 1) the reel wears, 2) reel is sharpened by
grinding, or 3) if the front grass shield is adjusted.
1. Loosen screws securing Cut–Off bar (Fig. 22). Insert
0.060" (2 mm) feeler gauge between top of reel and
Cut–Off bar.
