REEL TO BEDKNIFE _______________________________________________________
(Pre-adjustment Check)
1. Check the reel bearings for end play or radial play. If
there is any abnormal movement of the reel, up and
down, or side to side, adjust, or replace components
as needed.
!
CAUTION
Handle the reel with extreme care to prevent personal
injury and damage to the cutting edges.
NOTICE
Before tipping mower back for adjustments, the fuel
lever must be moved to the OFF position to prevent
fuel from leaking into the crankcase.
2. Inspect the reel blades and bedknife to insure good
sharp edges without bends or nicks.
a. The cutting edges of the reel blades and bed-
knife must be sharp, free of burrs, and show no
signs of rounding off.
b. The bedknife and bedknife backing must be
securely tightened. The bedknife must be
straight and sharp.
c. A flat surface of at least 1/32 in. (0.8 mm)
minimum must be maintained on the front face of
the bedknife. Use a standard flat file to dress the
bedknife.
3. If wear or damage is beyond the point where the
reel or bedknife can be corrected by the lapping
process, they must be reground.

3. Long hair, jewelry, or loose fitting clothing may get
tangled in moving parts.
!
CAUTION
Be careful to prevent entrapment of the hands and
fingers between moving and fixed components of the
machine.
4.
Do not change speed limit settings or overspeed the
drive motors.
4. Proper reel-to-bedknife adjustment is critical. A gap
of 0.001 to 0.003" (0.025 to 0.076 mm) must be
maintained across the entire length of the reel and
bedknife.
5. The reel must be parallel to the bedknife. An
improperly adjusted reel will lose its sharp edges
prematurely and may result in serious damage to
the reel and bedknife.
6. Grass conditions will also affect the adjustment.
a. Dry, sparse conditions will require a wider gap to
prevent heat buildup and damage to the reel and
bedknife.
b. High quality grass with a good moisture content
requires a closer gap (near zero).
