LEVELING THE REAR DRUM TO
THE REEL
1. Position the machine on a flat, level surface,
preferably a precision steel plate. Place a 1/4" x
1" (.625 x 2.5 cm) flat steel strip, 74 cm long,
under the reel blades and against the front edge
of the bed knife to prevent the bedbar from rest-
ing on the work surface.
2. Raise the front roller so that only the rear drum
and the reel are on the surface.
3. Firmly press down on the machine above the
reel so all reel blades contact the steel strip.
4. 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 .025 cm on either end, an adjustment to the
drum is required; go to step 5. If the gap is less
than .025 cm no adjustment is required.
5. Remove the rear belt cover from the right side
of the machine.
6. Rotate the drive pulley until the holes align with
the (4) roller bearing flange screws (Fig. 3).

7. Loosen the four roller bearing screws and the
screw securing the idler pulley. Raise or lower
the right side of the roller assembly until the
gap is reduced to less than .025 cm. Tighten the
roller-bearing screws. Adjust belt tension and
tighten idler pulley mounting screw (Fig. 4 ).
ADJUST THE BEDKNIFE TO THE
REEL
Bedknife-to-reel adjustment is done by loosening or
tightening the bedknife adjusting screws, located on
top of the mower.
1. Position the machine on a flat, level work sur-
face. Make sure the reel contact is removed by
loosening jam nuts on the bedknife adjusting
screws and rotating the adjusting screws coun-
terclockwise (Fig. 4).
