backlapping, the reel control light will begin to
blink and the reels will turn off. If this occurs,
turn the height-of-cut selection knob one

followed by the enable position. To resume
backlapping, move the Lower Mow/Lift
control lever forward.

backlapping, stop backlapping by moving the
Lower Mow/Lift control lever rearward. Once
the reels have stopped, move the desired reel

Lower Mow/Lift control lever forward.

while backlapping, turn reels OFF by moving
the Lower Mow/Raise lever rearward; move

the engine OFF. After adjustments have been
completed, repeat steps 5–9.

Note: When the cutting unit is adequately
sharpened, a burr will form on the front edge of
the knife. Using a file, carefully remove the
burr without dulling the cutting edge (Fig. 16).
12. Repeat the procedure for all cutting units to be
backlapped.
13. When backlap operation has been completed,
return the backlap knobs to the forward flow
position, lower the seat and wash all lapping
compound off the cutting units. Make the reel-
to-bedknife adjustment as often as needed.

Important: If the backlap knobs are not
returned to the forward flow position after
backlapping, the cutting units will not raise or
function properly.
