• 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.

Product Overview Operation Specifications Refer to your traction unit Operator’s Manual for detailed operation instructions. Before using the cutting unit each day, adjust the bedknife; refer to Adjusting the Bedknife to the Reel (page 11). Test the quality of cut by cutting a test swath before using the cutting unit to ensure that the finished cut is correct.
Prior to mowing each day, or as required, check each cutting unit to verify proper bedknife-to-reel contact. Perform this procedure even when the quality of cut is acceptable. 1. Slowly rotate the reel in a reverse direction, listening for reel-to-bedknife contact. Note: The adjustment knobs have detents corresponding to 0.022 mm (0.0009 inch) bedknife movement for each indexed position. Refer to Adjusting the Bedknife to the Reel (page 11). 2.
5. Insert the 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) shim between the marked reel blade and the bedknife at the point where the blade crosses the bedknife. 6. Turn the right bedbar adjuster clockwise until you feel light pressure (i.e. drag) on the shim, then back off the bedbar adjuster 2 clicks and remove the shim. Note: Adjusting 1 side of the cutting unit affects the other side, the 2 clicks will provide clearance for when the other side is adjusted.
Adjusting the Turf-Compensation Settings The turf-compensation spring transfers the weight from the front to the rear roller. This helps to reduce a wave pattern in the turf, also known as marcelling or bobbing. Important: Make spring adjustments with the cutting unit mounted to the traction unit, pointing straight ahead and lowered to the shop floor. g003324 Figure 20 1. Spacer 3.

Height-of-Cut Chart Terms Height-of-Cut Setting (HOC) This corresponds to the desired height of cut. Bench-Set Height of Cut This is the height at which the top edge of the bedknife is set above a flat level surface that contacts the bottom of both the front and rear rollers. g006502 Figure 27 Effective Height of Cut 1. Rear spacers 3. Aggressiveness of cut 2. Side-plate mounting flange This is the actual height that the grass has been cut.
Maintenance Lubricating the Cutting Unit Each cutting unit has 6 grease fittings (Figure 29) that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 lithium grease. Using the Kickstand when Tipping the Cutting Unit The lubrication points include the front roller (2), the rear roller (2), and the reel bearing (2).
Adjusting the Reel Bearings To ensure long life of the reel bearings, periodically check if reel end play exists. You can check and adjust the reel bearings as follows: 1. Loosen the reel-to-bedknife contact by turning the bedknife adjusting knobs (Figure 30) counterclockwise until no contact exists. g003332 Figure 32 1. Setscrew B. g019940 Figure 30 1. Bedknife-adjuster knob 2. 2.
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 35. 1.
2. Clean the screw threads. 3. Apply anti-seize compound to the screws and install the bedknife to the bedbar as follows (Figure 41): g003335 Figure 39 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. Secure the bedbar to each side plate with the bedbar bolts (nuts on bolts) and 6 washers. 3. 4.
