Never place hands or feet in the reel
area while the engine is running.
While backlapping, the reels may stall
and then restart.
Do not attempt to restart reels by hand
or foot.
Do not adjust reels while the engine is
running.
If a reel stalls, stop engine before
attempting to clear the reel.
Reel motors are connected in series,
moving one motor moves the other two.
1. Position machine on a clean and level surface, low-
er cutting units, stop engine, engage parking brake, and

al valve knob when the machine or reels are run-
ning.

justments appropriate for backlapping (see Bedknife to

Page 8 – 19
CAUTION
Be careful when backlapping the reel be-
cause contact with the reel or other moving
parts can result in personal injury.
9. To make an adjustment to the cutting units while
backlapping, turn reels OFF by moving the RAISE/
LOWER–MOW control to the RAISE position. Shut off
engine. After the adjustments have been completed, re-
peat steps 4 through 6.
10. When the backlap operation is completed, shut off
engine and rotate directional valve knob counter–clock-
wise fully (90 from the backlap position) to forward
position. Also, rotate flow control valve knob to position
13 for height–of–cut settings of a 1/4 inch or below.
Note: For additional settings, refer to the instructions
on the decal that is located on the underside of the seat
support.
11. Wash all lapping compound off the cutting units.
12. For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front
face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is com-
pleted. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that
may have built up on the cutting edge.
