Registration card 1 Fill out and return to Toro.

1. The cutting unit is shipped without a front roller. Install

the roller using the loose parts supplied with the cutting

unit and the instructions included with the roller.

2. Retain the two flange nuts supplied in the loose parts

for mounting the reel drive motor to the cutting unit.

3. Check for looseness in the bearings between the end

plate and reel by moving the reel laterally or axially on

each end of the cutting unit; refer to Servicing and

Adjusting the Reel Bearings, page 7.

4. Check the drive end of the reel for grease. Grease

should be visibly evident.

5. Ensure that all nuts and bolts are securely fastened.

6. Check the level of the rear roller to the reel; refer to

Leveling the Rear Roller Assembly to the Reel,

page 9.

Adjusting the Bedknife to the

Reel

1. Loosen the bottom adjustment screw on each side of the

cutting unit (Fig. 2); then tighten the top adjustment

screw on each side of the cutting unit (Fig. 3). This

adjustment will position the bedknife closer to the reel

blades.

Important Use only an open end wrench 3 to 6 in. (7.6

to 15.2 cm) in length for adjusting the bedknife to the reel.

A longer wrench will provide too much leverage and may

cause distortion of the mounting plate for the adjustment

screws.
