Note: Due to wear on the bedknife and reel, over time
the attitude of the cutting unit will decrease.
1. Rotate the cutting unit backward to gain access to
reel and bedknife.
2. Place an angle indicator, Toro Part No. 99-3503, on
the bedknife and record the bedknife angle (Fig. 13).
3. Using a two-screw gauge bar, Toro Part No.
98-1852, set Height of Cut screw to desired height-of-
cut.
4. Place the gauge bar across the front and rear rollers.
The height of cut screw head needs to fit snugly over the
edge of the bedknife while the gauge bar contacts the
rollers (Fig. 14).
5. Place an angle indicator on the gauge bar and record
the gauge bar angle (Fig. 14).
6. Bedknife Angle (step 2) − Gauge Bar Angle (step 5)
= Cutting Unit Attitude (degrees)
7. For adjusting the cutting unit attitude, change the
position of the roller (A, B or C) (Fig. 14).
Note: If Front Height of Cut kit, Part No. 104−8205 is
installed on cutting unit (Fig. 15), adjust front roller to de-
sired attitude and reset attitude screw. Gauge bar can
now be utilized to set remaining cutting units on ma-
chine.
