Supporting the Cutting Unit
Whenever you need to tip the cutting unit to expose
the bedknife/reel, prop up the rear of the cutting
unit to ensure that the nuts on the back end of the
bedbar-adjusting bolts are not resting on the work
surface
(Figure
12).

Servicing the Bedbar
Only a properly trained mechanic should service the
bedbar and bedknife to prevent damage to the reel,
bedbar, or bedknife. Ideally, take the cutting unit to
your authorized Toro distributor for service. Refer to
the Service Manual for your traction unit for complete
instructions, special tools, and diagrams for servicing
the bedknife. Should you ever need to remove
or assemble the bedbar yourself, instructions are
provided below, as are the specifications for servicing
the bedknife.
Important:
Always follow the bedknife
procedures detailed in your Service Manual when
servicing the bedknife. Failure to install and grind
the bed knife correctly can lead to damage to the
reel, bedbar, or bedknife.
