1. Bedbar adjusting screw
2. Tilt the mower on its back to expose the bedknife
and reel.
Important: Make sure the nuts on the back end
of the bedbar adjusting screws are not resting
on the work surface (Figure 3).
3. At one end of the reel, insert a long strip of
newspaper between the reel and bedknife (Figure 5).
While slowly rotating the reel forward, turn the
bedbar adjusting screw clockwise (on same end of
reel, one click at a time, until the paper is pinched
lightly, when inserted from the front, parallel to the
bedknife. You should notice a slight drag as you
pull the paper.
Note: Each time the adjusting screw is rotated
one click clockwise, the bedknife moves 0.0007
inch closer to the reel. Do not overtighten the
adjusting screws.

4. Check for light contact at the other end of the reel
using paper and adjust it as required.
5. After the adjustment is accomplished, check to see
if the reel can pinch paper when inserted from the
front and cut the paper when inserted at a right angle
to the bedknife (Figure 5).
Note: It should be possible to cut the paper with
minimum contact between the bedknife and the reel
blades. Should excessive reel drag be evident, it will
be either necessary to backlap or regrind the cutting
unit to achieve the sharp edges needed for precision
cutting (refer to the Toro Reel Sharpening Manual).
