C. Leveling Front Roller
IMPORTANT: Toro strongly recommends the use of a
leveling plate when setting–up or adjusting any reel type
cutting unit. The leveling plate will help to ensure accu-
rate and consistent adjustments. Contact your local
Toro Distributor to order a leveling plate.
1. Position cutting unit on a flat surface.
2. Position a 1/2" (13 mm) or thicker bar under the reel
blades and against the cutting edge of the bedknife.
Make sure bar covers the full length of reel blades.
Rear roller should not contact surface (Fig. 23).
3. Rock cutting unit forward (on reel blades and steel
bar) until front roller contacts flat surface. Reel blades
and bedknife must maintain contact with bar (Fig. 23).
4. Adjust front brackets until both ends of roller
are in contact with level surface. Use a piece of news-
paper or visually check to see if any gap exists between
roller ends and flat surface (Fig. 24).
5. Tighten top and bottom nuts of front roller brackets
to 55–65 ft–lbs. (75–88 NSm).
6. Re–check roller contact with newspaper to insure
roller has not changed position and is parallel with the
reel and bedknife.
