ignition switch. Then proceed with the adjustment
only after the reels have stopped rotating.
E. Backlap each reel until the cutting edges are
sharp, even, and consistent on all blades. Achieve a
minimum of 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) land area on newly
sharpened reel assemblies. Normally, a reel need
only be backlapped for approximately 3 minutes.
F. Upon completion, stop the reel and turn off the en-
gine. Remove the key from the ignition switch. Wash
the unit thoroughly with a low pressure stream of
water to remove all lapping material. Allow the reel
to dry and lubricate the grease fittings.

Hydraulic Motor Installation

1. Install the drive plate shield onto the reel drive motor
flange (Fig. 12). Be sure the widest portion of the shield
is at the top.
NOTE: Check to see that motor pulley set screws are
tight on motor shaft before installing motor onto cutting
unit (Fig. 13).
2. Insert the reel drive motor pulley through the housing
and slip the cutting unit drive belt over the pulley (Fig.
13).
Cutting Units
G. Check sharpness of the reel and bedknife with
strips of newspaper. With light reel to bedknife con-
tact, the paper should be cleanly sheared across the
entire width of the reel. If the paper is not sheared
acceptably, continue backlapping.
H. After backlapping the first cutting unit, raise and
latch this unit and proceed with the #2 and #3 cutting
units.
NOTE: See the Toro Sharpening Manual (Part
#80–300) for additional backlapping/sharpening in-
formation.
