Initial Set-up and Adjustments

IMPORTANT: Toro strongly recommends the use of a
leveling plate when setting-up or adjusting any reel type
cutting unit. The leveling plate will help to ensure accu-
rate and consistent adjustments.
Note: Right and left ends of cutting unit is determined by
standing in the operator's position (Fig. 8).
After the cutting unit is unboxed, use the following proce-
dures to assure the cutting units are adjusted properly.
1. Check each end of the reel for grease. Grease
should be visibly evident in the reel bearings and internal
splines of reel shaft.
2. Insure that all nuts and bolts are securely fastened.
3. Make sure carrier frame suspension operates freely
and does not bind when moved back and forth.
IMPORTANT: Set height of cut by completing the
following steps in order:
A. Adjust bedknife to reel.
B. Set cutting unit attitude.
C. Level front roller.
D. Set height-of-cut.
E. Adjust turf compensation spring.

IMPORTANT: Each cutting unit must be set consis-
tently. Minor differences in either height-of-cut, atti-
tude, bedknife wear, or reel blade wear, among
cutting units, may result in negative after cut ap-
pearance.
Note: The cutting unit has been set at the factory at
1/2" (13 mm) height-of-cut and the front roller set in the
normal attitude position (middle hole in front brackets).
Also, the bedknife has been backed off from the reel to
prevent shipping damage.
