Caution
Before cutting newspaper as a test, be sure to
stop the engine and wear gloves to protect
your hands.
Pay attention not to let the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) catch your gloves. Otherwise, you
may injure your hand or fingers.
Caution
Before adjusting the blade engagement, be
sure to set the rotation selector lever for the
reel cutter (attached to the mower unit) to the
"N" position.
Adjustment of Blade Engagement_001
1
Adjust the engagement between the reel cutter
(cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom
blade) so that newspaper (one piece) will be
cut cleanly by the edge of both blades when
the blades in their entirety come slightly into
contact with each other via the cutter
adjustment nuts.
Insert a strip of newspaper into the space
between the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and
the bed knife (bottom blade) at an angle of 90
degrees. Then, rotate the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) counter-clockwise (when you face the
mower unit from the left) to check the
sharpness of the blades.
Check the sharpness of the entire range (three
or four points from left edge to right) of the reel
cutter (cutting cylinder).
