Adjusting the Bedknife-to-Reel Contact B. Adjusting the Bedknife Daily Prior to mowing each day, or as required, verify proper bedknife-to-reel contact. Perform this procedure even though quality of cut is acceptable. • If excessive contact/reel drag is evident, backlap, reface the front of the bedknife, or grind the cutting unit to achieve the sharp edges needed for precision cutting (Refer to the Toro Manual for Sharpening Reel and Rotary Mowers, Form No. 09168SL).
Adjusting the Bedknife to the Reel bedknife, perpendicular to the bedknife (Figure 10), then slowly rotate the reel forward; it should cut the paper; if not, turn each bedbar adjusting screw clockwise 1 clicks and repeat this step until it cuts the paper. Use this procedure during initial cutting-unit setup and after grinding, backlapping, or disassembling the reel. This is not a daily adjustment. Note: This procedure can be performed with the cutting unit installed to the traction unit. 1.
Setting the Cutting Unit to Match Turf Conditions Use the following tables to determine the proper bedknife and roller that is needed to match your turf conditions. Contact your authorized Toro distributor to acquire additional bedknives and rollers. Refer to Adjusting the Clip Rate (page 12) for instructions to set the appropriate clip rate for your turf conditions.

Adjusting the Height of Cut Performing the Height-of-Cut Adjustment 1. Loosen the locknuts that secure the height-of-cut arms to the cutting-unit side plates (Figure 12). Set the height of cut to the desired height using a height-of-cut gauge, and ensure that your cutting unit is equipped with a bedknife that is best suited for your desired height of cut; refer to Setting the Cutting Unit to Match Turf Conditions (page 9).
bar and the screw will be snug against the bedknife. This ensures that the height of cut is identical at both ends of the bedknife. 6. Tighten the nuts to secure the adjustment enough to remove play from the washer. 7. Verify that the height-of-cut setting is correct; repeat this procedure if necessary. • For a height of cut greater than 8 mm (0.312 inch), position the traction-unit drum in the HIGH position; refer to your machine Operator’s Manual. • For a height of cut greater than 16 mm (0.
Adjusting the Grass Shield Adjust the grass shield to ensure that the clippings are cleanly discharged from the reel area, as follows: Note: The shield is adjustable to compensate for changes in turf conditions. Adjust the shield closer to the reel when the turf is extremely dry. By contrast, adjust the shield further away from the reel when the turf conditions are wet. The shield should be parallel to the reel to ensure optimum performance. Adjust it after the reel is sharpened on a reel grinder. 1.
Servicing the Bedbar Only a properly trained mechanic should service the bedbar and bedknife to prevent damage to the reel, bedbar, or bedknife. Ideally, take the cutting unit to your authorized Toro distributor for service. Refer to the Service Manual for your traction unit for complete instructions, special tools, and diagrams for servicing the bedknife. Should you ever need to remove or assemble the bedbar yourself, instructions are provided below, as are the specifications for servicing the bedknife.
Installing the Bedbar 1. Install the bedbar, positioning the mounting ears between the washers and the bedbar-adjusting screw (Figure 18). 2. Secure the bedbar to each side plate with the bedbar bolts (nuts on bolts) and 3 washers (6 total). 3. Position a nylon washer on each side of the side-plate boss. Place a steel washer outside each of the nylon washers (Figure 19). 4. Torque the bedbar bolts to 27 to 36 N∙m (240 to 320 inch-lb). 5.
Preparing the Reel for Grinding 1. Ensure that all cutting unit components are in good condition and correct any issues before grinding. 2. Follow the reel grinder manufacturer’s instructions to grind the cutting reel to the following specifications. Relief-Grinding the Reel The new reel has a land width of 1.3 to 1.5 mm (0.030 to 0.050 inch) and a 30° relief grind. When the land width gets larger than 3 mm (0.120 inch) wide, do the following: 1.
