Checking Or Adjusting Attitude - Used Cutting Units - Toro Reelmaster 6500–D Service Manual

B. Checking or Adjusting Attitude – Used Cutting Units
NOTE: As a starting point for adjusting cutting unit atti-
tude, the cutting unit may be set up using the dimensions
from TABLE 1. However, because of wear on the bed-
knife and reel, either the First or Second Method must be
used to insure the correct setting of the attitude.
FIRST METHOD (Angle Indicator):
1. Rotate cutting unit backwards to gain access to reel
and bedknife.
2. Place an angle indicator, Toro part no. 99–3503, on
the bedknife and record the bedknife angle (Fig. 18).

3. Using a two–screw gauge bar, Toro part no.
98–1852, set first screw to desired height–of–cut.
4. Place the gauge bar across front and rear rollers.
The first screw head needs to fit snugly over edge of the
bedknife,while the gauge bar contacts the front roller
(Fig. 19).

7. Adjust the front roller to your desired cutting unit atti-
tude.
NOTE: Moving the front roller down will decrease your
cutting unit attitude, while moving the front roller up will
increase cutting unit attitude.
8. Set the second screw to transfer your desired cut-
ting unit attitude to the remaining cutting units on the ma-
chine.
