Servicing the Bedbar
Only a properly trained mechanic should service the
bedbar and bedknife to prevent damage to the reel,
bedbar, or bedknife. Ideally, take the cutting unit to
your authorized Toro distributor for service. Refer to
the Service Manual for your traction unit for complete
instructions, special tools, and diagrams for servicing
the bedknife. Should you ever need to remove
or assemble the bedbar yourself, instructions are
provided below, as are the specifications for servicing
the bedknife.
Important:
Always follow the bedknife
procedures detailed in your Service Manual when
servicing the bedknife. Failure to install and grind
the bedknife correctly can lead to damage to the
reel, bedbar, or bedknife.
