Setup Media and Additional Parts Description Use Qty. Operator's Manual 1 Read before installing and operating cutting unit Parts catalog 1 Use to reference part numbers Certification of compliance 1 Save for future reference Target plate Spring 1 2 Install if using an eFlex traction unit 1 Installing the Front Roller No Parts Required Procedure The cutting unit is shipped without a front roller.
. After the adjustment is accomplished, check to see if the reel can pinch paper when inserted from the front and cut the paper when inserted at a right angle to the bedknife (Figure 5). Note: It should be possible to cut the paper with minimum contact between the bedknife and the reel blades. Should excessive reel drag be evident, it will be either necessary to backlap or regrind the cutting unit to achieve the sharp edges needed for precision cutting (refer to the Toro Reel Sharpening Manual).

Raise the rear of the cutting unit and place a block under the bedknife. 2. Remove the 2 nuts securing each roller bracket and spacer to each sideplate mounting flange. 3. Lower the roller and screws from the sideplate mounting flanges and spacers. 4.
5 Adjusting the Height of Cut No Parts Required Procedure Note: This cutting unit comes standard with the Edgemax Micro-cut bedknife and standard bedbar. The effective height of cut is dependent on previous mower configurations and turf conditions (i.e. roller type, bedknife behind center distance, soft or firm greens, season conditions). Set initial height of cut .010 – .015 inch higher than previous greensmower setup and adjust to match conditions. g014407 Figure 9 3. Adjusting screw 1.
6 Adjusting the Cut-Off Bar No Parts Required Procedure g016945 Figure 11 Adjust the cut-off bar to ensure that the clippings are cleanly discharged from the reel area, as follows: 1. Gauge bar 4. 1. Rotate the adjusting screw until the roller contacts the front of the gauge bar. Adjust both ends of the roller until the entire roller is parallel to the bedknife. Loosen the screws securing the top bar (Figure 12) to the cutting unit.
7 Preparing the Cutting Unit for Use on an eFlex Machine Parts needed for this procedure: 1 Target plate 2 Pitch arm spring Installing the Target Plate If you will be using the cutting unit on an eFlex traction unit, install the provided target plate, then adjust the machine sensors as described in the eFlex Traction Unit Operator’s Manual. If you will be using the cutting unit on gasoline-powered machines, you do not need the target plate.
Specifications Product Overview Tractors Height of cut Height-of-cut-range Reel bearings Rollers These cutting units will mount on the appropriate size Flex and eFlex traction units. The cutting height is adjusted on the front roller by 2 vertical screws and held by 2 locking cap screws The standard bench height of cut range is 1.6 mm (.062 inch) to 12.7 mm (.500 inch). Bench height of cut range with the High Height of Cut Kit installed is 7 to 25 mm (0.285 to 1.00 inch).
Operation be accelerated, uneven wear can result, and quality of cut may be adversely affected. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Note: For eFlex cutting units, the reel to bedknife contact has significant impact on energy consumption. Very light contact is recommended for optimum cutting performance and battery consumption.
Note: Ensure that the setscrews on each pulley are positioned to align with the key and flat area on the shaft. g017116 Figure 16 1. Bearing-housing nut 3. Compression spring 2. Reel drive belt 4. Using a 16 mm (5/8 inch) wrench, rotate the bearing housing to make sure that it operates freely. 5. Remove the belt (Figure 16). 6. Using the chart shown on the decal in Figure 17, determine the clip setting you want and which pulleys you will need to move.
Maintenance 4. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Remove each bedbar bolt allowing the bedbar to be pulled downward and removed from the machine bolt (Figure 19). Account for the 2 nylon and 2 stamped steel washers on each end of the bedbar (Figure 20). Servicing the Bedbar Removing the Bedbar 1. Turn the bedbar-adjusting screw, counterclockwise, to back the bedknife away from the reel (Figure 18). g016970 Figure 20 1. Bedbar bolt 2.

Note: Additional instructions and procedures on Backlapping are available in the Toro Sharpening Reel and Rotary Mowers Manual, Form No. 80-300PT. Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is completed. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that may have built up on the cutting edge.
