Note:
When sharpening, setting the
height-of-cut, or performing other maintenance
procedures on the cutting units, store the cutting
unit reel motors in the storage location on the
front of the suspension arms to prevent damage
to them.
Important:
Do not raise the suspension to
the transport position when the reel motors
are in the holders in the machine frame.
Damage to the motors or hoses could result.
If you must move the traction unit without
the cutting units installed, secure them to
the suspension arms using cable ties.
4. Open the latches on the suspension-arm bar of
the cutting unit you are removing
5. Disconnect the latches from the cutting-unit bar.
6. Roll the cutting unit out from under the
suspension arm.
7. Repeat steps 2 through
units as required.

Checking the
Reel-to-Bedknife Contact
Each day before operating the machine, check the
reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut
had previously been acceptable. There must be light
contact across the full length of the reel and bedknife;
refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual.

Setting the Reel Speed

To achieve a consistent, high-quality cut and a
uniform, after-cut appearance, you must correctly set
the reel speed control (located on the manifold block
under the cover to the left of the seat). Adjust the reel
speed control as follows:
1. Select the height-of-cut at which the cutting units
are set.
2. Choose the desired ground speed best suited
for conditions.
3. Using the appropriate graph (See
5, 8, 11, or 14 blade cutting units, determine the
proper reel speed setting.
4. To set the reel speed, rotate the knob
48) until the indicator arrows are in line with the
number designating desired setting.
