Setup 7. Tighten the roller-mounting screws. 8. Adjust to the desired height-of-cut and tighten the height-of-cut arm mounting fasteners. 1 2 Installing the Roller Installing the Cutting Unit to the Traction Unit No Parts Required Procedure No Parts Required The cutting unit is shipped without a front roller. Obtain a roller from your authorized Toro dealer and install it on the cutting unit, as follows: 1.
Product Overview Specifications Traction-unit compatibility Cutting width These cutting units mount on the appropriately-sized Greensmaster Flex or eFlex 1018 or 1021 traction units. Model No. 04853 and 04854 Model No. 04863, 04864 46 cm (18 inches) 53 cm (21 inches) Height-of-cut Adjust the front roller held by 2 vertical screws and nuts. Height-of-cut range The standard bench height-of-cut range is 1.6 mm (0.062 inch) to 12.7 mm (0.500 inch).
Maintenance Accessing the Cutting Unit Access the bedknife and reel for maintenance as follows: • With the cutting unit removed from the machine, prop up the rear of the cutting unit to ensure that the nuts on the back end of the bedbar adjusting screws are not resting on the work surface (Figure 4). g310788 Figure 6 1. Socket-head screw 2. Nut 2. Remove the nuts from the inside of the side plate (Figure 6). 3. Check the inside of the reel driveshaft (Figure 7) for any remaining grease.
Adjusting the Bedknife-to-Reel Contact 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 Daily Important: Light contact is preferred at all times. If you do not maintain light contact, the bedknife/reel edges will not sufficiently self-sharpen, and dull cutting edges will result after a period of operation.
Adjusting the Bedknife after Grinding, Backlapping, or Disassembly 9), 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.
Performing the Height-of-Cut Adjustment 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 8). 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.
Adjusting the Height of Cut Note: The distance between the bottom of the screw head and the face of bar is the height of cut. This cutting unit comes standard with the Edgemax Micro-cut bedknife and standard bedbar. The effective height of cut depends on previous mower configurations and turf conditions (i.e., roller type, bedknife behind center distance, soft or firm greens, season conditions). Set the initial height of cut 0.25 mm to 0.38 mm (0.010 to 0.
Adjusting the Clip Rate The clip rate is determined by the following machine settings: • Reel speed: The reel speed can be adjusted to a high or low setting; refer to your traction unit Operator’s Manual. • Reel-drive-pulley position: The reel-drive pulleys (22-tooth and 24-tooth) can be set in 2 positions: g016945 – HIGH position: “A” in Figure 16 Figure 15 – LOW position: “B” in Figure 16 1. Gauge bar Note: The pulley position is set to the LOW 3.
5. Torque the pulley nuts to 37 to 45 N∙m (27 to 33 ft-lb) 6. Install the belt and tension the belt by applying 4 to 5 N∙m (35 to 40 in-lb) to the idler-arm internal hex shown in Figure 17. 7. Tighten the idler-arm bolt and install the belt cover. Adjusting the Cut-Off Bar Adjust the cut-off bar to ensure that the clippings are cleanly discharged from the reel area, as follows: Note: The bar is adjustable to compensate for changes in turf conditions.
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. Servicing the Bedknife Install the bedbar, positioning the mounting ears between the washers and the bedbar-adjusting screw (Figure 20). 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 21). 4. Torque the bedbar bolts to 27 to 36 N∙m (240 to 320 inch-lb). 5.
Relief-Grinding the Reel The new reel has a land width of 0.76 to 1.27 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. Apply a 30° relief grind on all reel blades until the land width is 1.3 mm (0.050 inch) wide (Figure 25. g255046 Figure 24 1. Bednife screw tool 3. Torque to 23 to 28 N∙m (200 to 250 in-lb). 2. Install and torque these first to 1 N∙m (10 in-lb). 6. Grind the bedknife.
