You can backlap the reels either using the backlapping
feature of the traction unit (refer to the traction
unit Operator's Manual) or by removing the reels and
backlapping them remotely. The following procedure
describes remote backlapping:
1. Position the machine on a clean, level surface, lower
the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking
brake, and remove the ignition key.
2. Remove the reel motors from the cutting units and
disconnect and remove the cutting units from the
lift arms.
3. Connect the backlapping machine to the cutting unit
by inserting a piece of 3/8 inch square stock into the
splined coupling at the right end of the cutting unit.
Note: Additional instructions and procedures on
Backlapping are available in the Toro Sharpening Reel
and Rotary Mowers Manual, Form No. 80-300PT.
