Adjusting the Reel, Roller and
Wheel Bearing
After the initial 30 operating hours, check the reel bearing,
roller bearing, and wheel bearing. Thereafter, check these
parts every 200–250 operating hours. If necessary, adjust
the reel bearing. If necessary, adjust the roller bearing. If
necessary, adjust the wheel bearing.

Servicing the Roller

Disassembly
1. Remove the brackets and washers from each end of the
roller and inspect the bushings.
2. Remove elastic stop nut.
Note: After the elastic stop nut has been removed,
slide the sleeve off the roller shaft. Point the end of
roller downward into a container, at the same time
pulling the roller shaft out, allowing lubricant to drain
from the roller.
3. If the roller shaft is to be replaced, remove the double
jam nuts.
4. Remove the remaining sleeve and seals from both ends
of the roller.
5. Remove the bearing cones from each end of the roller.
6. Remove the bearing cups with caution.
7. Remove the inner seals by using a seal remover
Assembly
1. Lightly oil the lips of the inner seals. Install the inner
seals on each end of the roller, making sure that the
garter springs face inboard.
2. Replace the bearing cups and insert the bearing cones
into the roller.
3. Lightly oil the lips of the outer seals. Install the outer
seals on each end of the roller, making sure that the
garter springs face inboard.
4. Slide one (1) sleeve onto the roller shaft against the
double jam nuts.
5. Wrap the threaded area of the roller shaft with
cellophane tape to protect the seals, and carefully slide
the shaft through the right–hand side of the roller.
Slide the roller shaft into the roller until it penetrates
the inner most oil seal on the right–hand side.
6. Pour approximately 0.0296 liter (16 ounces) of SAE 90
or 140 gear oil into the roller housing.
7. After the oil has been added, carefully push the roller
shaft through the entire roller assembly. Remove the
cellophane tape.
8. Install the sleeve onto the roller shaft and slide up
against the bearing cone.
9. Install the elastic stop nut and secure it by holding the
double jam nuts. Tighten the elastic stop nut.
Note: Tighten the elastic stop nut until all axial and
radial motion has been removed from the roller shaft
and bearings. Ensure that the roller rotates freely on
the shaft.
10. Grease the bearings with Heavy Duty 2 wheel bearing
grease.
11. Reinstall the washers and install the left and right–hand
bracket and the bushing assemblies.
Important: After the mower has been completely
assembled, perform the following critical
adjustments:
A. Check the Reel Bearings and the Mower Fasteners.
B. Set the Height–of–Cut
C. Parallel the Bedknife to the Reel
