Note: When sharpening, setting the height-of-cut,
or performing other maintenance procedures on the
cutting units, store the cutting unit reel motors in
the storage location on the front of the suspension
arms to prevent damage to them.
Important: Do not raise the suspension to the
transport position when the reel motors are in
the holders in the machine frame. Damage to
the motors or hoses could result. If you must
move the traction unit without the cutting units
installed, secure them to the suspension arms
using cable ties.
5. Open the latches on the suspension-arm bar of the
cutting unit you are removing (Figure 32).

Setting the Reel Speed

To achieve a consistent, high quality–of–cut and a
uniform after cut appearance, it is important that the
reel speed control (located on the manifold block under
the cover to the left of the seat) be correctly set.
Adjust the reel speed control as follows:
1. Select the height-of-cut at which the cutting units
are set.
2. Choose the desired ground speed best suited for
conditions.
3. Using the appropriate graph (See Figure 37) for
5, 8, 11, or 14 blade cutting units, determine the
proper reel speed setting.
4. To set the reel speed, rotate the knob (Figure 38)
until the indicator arrows are in line with the
number designating desired setting.
