DPA Cutting Unit Characteristics

DPA Cutting Units: Adjustments
Never install or work on or near a cutting unit or cutting unit
suspension with the engine running. Always stop the engine and
remove the key before working on or near a cutting unit.
Note: When adjusting reel to bedknife or grinding/backlapping, cutting unit
assembly must be attached to traction unit or frame fixture.
The dual point adjust (DPA) bedknife-to-reel adjustment system incorporated in
this cutting unit simplifies the adjustment procedure needed to deliver optimum
mowing performance. The precise adjustment possible with this design gives
the necessary control to provide a continual self-sharpening action. This feature
maintains sharp cutting edges, assures good quality of cut and greatly reduces
the need for routine backlapping.
If a cutting unit is determined to be out of adjustment, complete the following
procedures in the specified order to adjust the cutting unit properly.
1. Adjust the bedknife to reel contact; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's
Manual.
2. Adjust the height-of-cut; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual.
3. Adjust the top shield; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual.
