Adjusting The Height Of Cut - Toro 04054 Greensmaster 800 Operator's Manual

Figure 47
Note: If excessive contact/reel drag is evident it will
be either necessary to backlap, reface the front of the
bedknife, or regrind the cutting unit to achieve the
sharp edges needed for precision cutting (Refer to the
Toro Manual for Sharpening Reel and Rotary Mowers,
Form No. 09168SL).

Adjusting the Height of Cut

1. Verify that the rear roller is level and that the bedknife
to reel contact is correct. Tip the mower back on the
handle to expose the front and rear rollers and the
bedknife.
2. Loosen the locknuts securing the height-of-cut arms to
the height-of-cut brackets

3. Loosen the nut on the gauge bar
the adjusting screw to the desired height-of-cut. The
distance between the bottom of the screw head and the
face of the bar is the height-of-cut.

4. Hook the screw head on the cutting edge of the
bedknife and rest the rear end of the bar on the rear
roller (Figure 50).
5. Rotate the adjusting screw until the roller contacts the
front of the gauge bar.
6. Adjust both ends of the roller until the entire roller is
parallel to the bedknife.
Important: When set properly, the rear and front
rollers will contact the gauge bar and the screw
will be snug against the bedknife. This ensures
the height-of-cut is identical at both ends of the
bedknife.
7. Tighten nuts to lock the adjustment.
Important: To avoid scalping on undulating turf,
ensure that the roller supports are positioned
rearward (the roller closer to the reel).
Note: The front roller can be put in three different
positions (Figure
needs of the user.
•
Use the front position when a groomer is installed.
•
Use the middle position without a groomer.
•
Use the third position in extremely undulating turf
conditions.
