Construction: Welded steel frame and reel with heavy-
duty, self-aligning ball bearings. Heavy-duty steel rear
roller with tapered roller bearings. Rear roller and bed-
bar are isolated and mounted in rubber bushings for
quiet, vibration-free operation. Adjustable deflector
shields are standard. Stainless steel components are used
at key points for added durability.
Reel Configuration: The 5-, 7- and 11-blade, heavy-
duty welded reels all have 8 in. (20.3 cm) diameters and
are 29-
3
⁄4 in. (75.5 cm) wide.
Bedknife/Bedbar Assembly: A replaceable, single-
edged, alloy steel bedbar is induction hardened. It’s fas-
tened with steel screws to a precision ground surface on
the high-strength, fabricated steel bedbar. The stress-
relieved machined bedbar is mounted with four (4)
vibration isolation bushings.
Bedknife to Reel Adjustment: Two lockable lead screw
adjusters at each side of the frame adjust the reel-to-bed-
knife contact.
Rear Roller: 3-
1
⁄2 in. (89 mm) diameter steel roller has
greaseable tapered roller bearings. A double lip oil seal
and wear sleeve isolates grit and moisture from the
bearings.
Height-of-Cut:
5 Blade—1 to 3 in. (25 to 76 mm).
7 Blade—
1
⁄2 to 1-
3
⁄4 in. (9.5 to 45 mm).
11 Blade—
3
⁄8 to
3
⁄4 in. (9.5 to 19 mm).
Height-of-Cut Adjustment: Quick adjustment and posi-
tive locking is provided by locking type cone nuts.
Gauge marks of
1
⁄4 in. (6.3 mm) are provided as a refer-
ence for easy changes of height-of-cut.
Lubrication: Easily accessible grease fittings for bear-
ings and all major pivot points.
Drive: The reel drive motor turns a maintenance-free
cog belt which drives the reel. Drive pulley and cog belt
are encased in a drive housing for safety and protection
from contamination.
Grass Deflector Shields: Fully Adjustable.
