Backlapping The Cutting Unit - Toro 04480 Operator's Manual

Backlapping the Cutting Units
Be careful when lapping the reel because contact
with the reel or other moving parts can result in
personal injury.
1. Position the machine on a clean, level surface,
lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage
the parking brake and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2. Remove the reel motors from the cutting units and
disconnect and remove the cutting units from the
lift arms.

CAUTION
3. Connect the backlapping machine to the cutting
unit by inserting a piece of 9mm square stock into
the splined coupling at the right end of the cutting
unit.
Note: Additional instructions and procedures on back-
lapping are available in the TORO Sharpening Reel &
Rotary Mowers Manual Form No. 80-300PT.
Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the
front face of the bedknife after completing the lapping
operation. This will remove any burrs or rough edges
that may have built up on the cutting edge.
