8.
If the reels stall or become erratic while
backlapping, select a higher reel speed setting
until the speed stabilizes, then return the reel
speed to your desired speed.

To make an adjustment to the cutting units
while backlapping, turn the reels off by
moving the Lower Mow/Raise lever rearward;
the Enable/Disable switch to the Disable
position, and stop the engine. After completing
adjustments, repeat steps 4 through 8.
1. Backlap levers
10.
Repeat the procedure for all cutting units you
want to backlap.

When finished, return the backlap levers to
the Mow position, lower the seat, and wash all
lapping compound off of the cutting units. Adjust
cutting unit reel to bedknife as needed. Adjust
the cutting unit reel speed to the desired mowing
setting.
Important:
If the backlap switch is not
returned to the Off position after backlapping,
the cutting units will not raise or function
properly.
Note:
For a better cutting edge, run a file across
the front face of the bedknife after lapping. This
will remove any burrs or rough edges that may
have built up on the cutting edge.
