Changing

Height-of-Cut

This procedure describes how to change the height-of-cut

after a cutting unit has been set up as described in Setup,

page 4. The height-of-cut can be changed with the cutting

units on or off the traction unit.

Reposition Front Roller

Note: If front roller position does not need to change, as

indicated on height-of-cut plates, proceed to Reposition

Rear Roller, page 9.

1. Loosen nut securing each front roller bracket to front

angle brackets.

2. Remove hairpin cotters securing front height–of–cut

pins and reinstall in the desired setting as indicated on

the height-of-cut plate.

3. Tighten nut securing one front roller bracket to angle

bracket. On this same end of the cutting unit, place the

gauge bar across the front and rear rollers and adjust

the screw on the gauge bar until the underside of the

screw engages the bedknife cutting edge.

4. Move the gauge bar to the other end of the reel and

adjust the roller support screw, on the reel, until the

underside of the screw head, on the gauge bar, engages

the bedknife cutting edge.

5. Tighten nut securing this front roller bracket to angle

bracket.

Reposition Rear 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 rear roller bracket to

angle brackets.

3. Remove hairpin cotters securing rear height–of–cut

pins and reinstall in the desired setting as indicated on

the height-of-cut plate.

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

adjust the rear roller support screws until the underside

of screw head engages the bedknife cutting edge. Do

this on both ends of reel.

5. Tighten nuts securing roller brackets.

6. Repeat this procedure on remaining cutting units.
