Adjust Bedknife Parallel To Reel - Toro Reelmaster 3100-D Service Manual

Adjust Bedknife Parallel to Reel

NOTE: A 3/4−inch (19 mm) wrench will be needed to ro-
tate the bedknife adjustment knob (Fig. 7).
IMPORTANT: Do not allow cutting unit to rest on the
bedknife adjusting screw. The setting of the bed-
knife will be changed.
1. Remove any reel contact by turning the bedknife ad-
justment knob counterclockwise (Fig. 7). Tip cutting unit
to gain access to the reel and bedknife (Fig. 8).
2. On either end of the reel, insert a long strip of dry
newspaper between the reel and bedknife. While slowly
rotating reel into the bedknife, turn bedknife adjusting
knob clockwise, one click at a time until the paper is
pinched lightly. The pinching should result in a slight
drag when the paper is pulled.
3. Check for light contact at the other end of reel using
newspaper as in step 2. If light contact is not evident,
proceed to the next step.
4. Remove counter weights and gasket from the end of
the cutting unit.
5. Loosen both carriage bolts on the bedbar adjuster
(Fig.9).
6. Adjust nuts to move bedbar adjuster up or down until
paper is pinched along entire bedknife surface, when
bedknife adjustment knob is adjusted to no more than
two clicks beyond first contact of reel bedknife (Fig.9).
7. Tighten nuts and carriage bolts and verify adjust-
ment.
8. Reinstall counter weights to the same ends of the
cutting units that they were removed from.
