Grass Shield And Fin Adjustment; Rear Shield Adjustment - Toro Reelmaster 6500–D Service Manual

Grass Shield and Fin Adjustment

Adjust grass shield and/or shield fin angle for desired
grass clippings dispersion. For best dispersion under
most conditions
1. Position cutting unit on a flat level surface.
2. To adjust fins, unhook and move front mounting tab
to the straight ahead or angled position slot.
3. To change grass shield angle, loosen flange head
capscrew (Fig. 17) securing shield to left side plate,
move shield to desired angle and tighten screw.

Rear Shield Adjustment

Under most conditions, best dispersion is attained when
rear shield is closed (front discharge).
When conditions are heavy or wet, rear shield may be
opened.
1. To open rear shield, loosen flange head capscrews
securing shield to each side plate, rotate shield to open
position and tighten screws.
Lift Chain Adjustment
The chain connecting carrier frame to cutting unit con-
trols the amount of fore–aft rotation available, as well as
the amount of ground clearance in transport and turn
around. The chain has a total of 13 links. The chain is
factory adjusted at the eleventh link, which will work well
for most fairways.
On rougher ground, chain may be shortened to allow for
more ground clearance. To allow greater rotation for
areas with many contours, lengthen chain.
Note: The position of the screw within the link will affect
the chain length.
