7. Level roller by adjusting appropriate support capscrew

on rear roller supports until roller is parallel and entire

length of roller contacts table.

8. Tighten nuts securing rear roller brackets to angle

brackets. Recheck to ensure that paper will not fit

under each end of roller.

Verifying the Height-of-Cut

Setting and Leveling the Front

Roller

1. On gauge bar, set head of screw to desired

height-of-cut. This measurement is from bar face to

underside of screw head. Gauge Bar (Part No.

98–1852) may be obtained from your local Toro

Distributor.

2. Slightly loosen nut securing each front roller bracket

to angle bracket (Fig. 9).

3. Remove hairpin cotters securing front height-of-cut

pins and reinstall in the desired setting as indicated on

the front height-of-cut plate.

4. Place the bar across the front and rear rollers and

adjust the front roller support screws until the

underside of screw head engages the bedknife cutting

edge (Fig. 9). Do this on both ends of reel. Make sure

the rollers are free of debris and/or distortions on the

roller surfaces.

5. Tighten nuts securing roller brackets.

6. Place cutting unit on a flat surface and verify that front

and rear rollers contact the surface. Alternately push

downward on opposite corners of the cutting unit. The

amount of clearance allowable under any roller end

depends on the turf conditions (sensitivity to lack of

parallelism). Generally, .010 to .020 in. (.25 to .50mm)

will provide acceptable after cut appearance. If

clearance under any roller end is excessive, repeat the

leveling of front and rear rollers.

Verifying Bedknife to Reel

Adjustment

With the reels mounted to the traction unit, verify that the

cutting unit will cut one thickness of newspaper across its

entire width (paper to be perpendicular to bedknife)

(Fig. 10).
