Checking or Adjusting Attitude (Used Cutting Units)
As a starting point for adjusting cutting unit attitude, the
cutting unit may be set up using the dimensions from the
New Cutting Unit Set Up Guide found in the Cutting Unit
Operator's Manual. However, because of wear to the
bedknife and reel, the following procedure must be used
to ensure the correct attitude setting for reels that have
been used for more than just a fews hours.
1. Rotate cutting unit backward to gain access to reel
and bedknife.
2. Place an angle indicator, Toro Part No. 99--3503, on
the bedknife and record the bedknife angle (Fig. 14).
3. Using a two-screw gauge bar, Toro Part No.
98-1852, set first screw to desired height-of-cut.
4. Place the gauge bar across front and rear rollers.
The first screw head needs to fit snugly over edge of the
bedknife,while the gauge bar contacts the front roller
(Fig. 15).
Note: The rear roller does not have to contact the
gauge bar.
5. Adjust second screw to contact bedknife. Move rear
roller up, if needed.
6. Place an angle indicator on the gauge bar and record
the gauge bar angle (Fig. 15).
7. Adjust the front roller to your desired cutting unit atti-
tude:
Bedknife Angle (step 2.)
-- Gauge Bar Angle (step 6.)
= Cutting Unit Attitude (degrees)
Note: Moving the front roller down will decrease your
cutting unit attitude, while moving the front roller up will
increase cutting unit attitude (Fig. 15).
