Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Adjusting the Bedknife to the
Reel for Light Contact
Important: After the mower is set up and installed on
the towing frame, the bedknife and reel must be adjusted
for light contact. Adjust the bedknife to the reel while
the mower is setting on the grass to be cut because the
force of turf against underside of bedknife during actual
operation must be duplicated to ensure correct setting.
To assure sharp cutting edges, the bedknife and reel
must have light contact.
1. Stand behind the mower
2. Disengage the reel throwout knobs (Figure 8). Carefully
spin the reel backward to insure free movement
3. While spinning the reel backward, rotate the bedknife
adjusting knob counterclockwise (Figure 8) until the
bedknife does not touch the reel blades.

4. While spinning the reel backward, rotate the adjusting
knob clockwise (Figure 8), one click at a time, until
light contact of the bedknife and the reel is noticed or a
whispering cutting sound is heard.
Note: The spring arm (clicker) may be adjusted for
positive detent by loosening the capscrews securing the
spring arm to the adjustment arm retainer, adjust until
a solid clicking sound is achieved when the adjusting
knob is turned, and retighten the capscrews.
5. Check the reel "carry over" by spinning the reel
backward again. The reel should rotate one to two
complete revolutions. Less than one revolution
indicates heavy contact, which means the bedknife and
reel must be readjusted for light contact; refer to steps
1, 3 and 4.
