Leveling The Rear Drum To The Reel - Toro 04052 Operator's Manual

Leveling the Rear Drum to the
Reel
1. Position the machine on a flat, level surface, preferably
a precision steel work plate.
2. Place a 1/4 x 1 in. (0.6 x 2.5 cm) flat steel strip, approx.
29 in. (73.6 cm) long, under the reel blades and against
the front edge of the bedknife to prevent the bedbar
from resting on the work surface.
3. Raise the front roller so only the rear drum and reel are
on the surface.
4. Firmly press down on the machine above the reel so all
reel blades contact the steel strip.
5. While pressing down on the reel, slide a feeler gauge
under one end of the drum, then check the other end of
the drum.
If there is a gap between the drum and the work surface,
greater than 0.010 in. (.025 cm), on either end, adjust
the drum (proceed to step 6). If the gap is less than
0.010 in. (.025 cm) no adjustment is required.
6. Remove the rear belt cover from the right side of the
machine (Fig. 8).
