• Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage. • Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals. • Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the blades; never straighten or weld them. • Use only accessories, attachments, and replacement parts approved by Toro. • On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1 blade can cause other blades to rotate.

Prior to mowing each day, or as required, check each cutting unit to verify proper bedknife-to-reel contact. This must be performed regardless of whether the quality of cut is acceptable. 1. Lower the cutting units onto a hard surface, shut off the engine, and remove the ignition key. 2. Slowly rotate the reel in a reverse direction, listening for reel-to-bedknife contact. If no contact is evident, turn the bedknife adjusting knobs clockwise, 1 click at a time, until you feel and hear light contact.
Note: This procedure should not be needed on daily adjustments, but should be done after grinding or disassembly. 9. From this position (i.e., 1 click in and shim not passing through) turn the bedbar adjusters clockwise 1 click each. Note: Each click turned moves the bedknife 0.022 (0.0009 inches). Do not overtighten the adjusting screws. 10. g019940 Figure 17 1.
2. Raise the rear of the cutting unit and place a block under the bedknife. 3. Remove the 2 nuts securing each roller bracket and spacer to each side-plate mounting flange. 4. Lower the roller and screws from the side-plate mounting flanges and spacers. 5. Place the spacers onto the screws on the roller brackets. 6. Secure the roller bracket and spacers to the underside of the side-plate mounting flanges with the nuts previously removed. 7. Verify that the bedknife-to-reel contact is correct.
2. Loosen the nut on the gauge bar (Figure 23) and set the adjusting screw to the desired height of cut. 6. Note: Do not overtighten the nuts. Tighten them just enough to remove play from the washer. g003327 Figure 23 1. Gauge bar 2. Height-adjusting screw 4. Holes used for setting Groomer HOC 5. Hole not used 3. Nut 3.

g006502 Figure 26 1. Rear spacers 3. Aggressiveness of cut 2. Side-plate mounting flange Rear Spacers The number of rear spacers determines the aggressiveness of cut for the cutting unit. For a given height of cut, adding spacers, below the side-plate mounting flange, increases the aggressiveness of the cutting unit. All cutting units on a given machine must be set to the same aggressiveness of cut (number of rear spacers, Part No.
Maintenance Using the Kickstand When Tipping the Cutting Unit Whenever you have to tip the cutting unit to expose the bedknife and the reel, prop up the rear of the cutting unit with the kickstand (supplied with the traction unit) to make sure that the nuts on the back end of the bedbar adjusting screws are not resting on the work surface (Figure 27). g034188 Figure 28 1. Relief valve Adjusting the Reel Bearings To ensure long life of the reel bearings, periodically check if reel end play exists.
g020697 Figure 30 3. If end play exists, proceeded as follows: A. Loosen the external setscrew securing the bearing adjuster nut to bearing housing located on the left side of the cutting unit (Figure 31). g003332 Figure 31 1. Setscrew B. 2. Adjuster nut Using a 1-3/8 inch socket wrench, slowly tighten the reel-bearing adjustment nut until no end play of the reel exists. If adjusting the nut does not eliminate reel end play, replace the reel bearings.
Servicing the Bedknife The bedknife service limits are listed in the following chart. Important: Operating the cutting unit with the bedknife below the service limit may result in poor after-cut appearance and reduce the structural integrity of the bedknife for impacts.

Checking the Top Grind Angle Servicing the Bedbar The angle that you use to grind your bedknives is very important. Removing the Bedbar Use the angle indicator (Toro Part No. 131-6828) and the angle-indicator mount (Toro Part No. 131-6829) to check the angle that your grinder produces and then correct for any grinder inaccuracy. 1. Place the angle indicator on the bottom side of the bedknife as shown in Figure 34. 1.
Installing the Bedknife 1. Remove the rust, scale, and corrosion from the bedbar surface and apply a thin layer of oil to the bedbar surface. 2. Clean the screw threads. 3. Apply anti-seize compound to the screws and install the bedknife to the bedbar as follows (Figure 40): g003335 Figure 38 1. Bedbar bolt 2. Nut 3. Steel washer 4. Nylon washer Assembling the Bedbar 1. Install the bedbar, positioning the mounting ears between the washer and the bedbar adjuster. 2.
