11. From this position (i.e. 1 click in and shim not passing
through) turn the bedbar adjusters clockwise 2 clicks
each.
Note: Each click turned moves the bedknife 0.018
mm (0.0007 inches). Do not over tighten the
adjusting screws.
12. Test the cutting performance by inserting a long strip
of Toro cutting performance paper between reel and
bedknife, perpendicular to the bedknife
Slowly rotate the reel forward; it should cut the paper.
Note: Should excessive reel drag be evident, it will be
either necessary to backlap or regrind the cutting unit
to achieve the sharp edges needed for precision cutting.
Adjusting the Rear Roller
1. Adjust the rear roller brackets
height of cut range by positioning the required amount
of spacers below the side plate mounting flange

1. Spacer
2. Roller bracket
2. Raise the rear of the cutting unit and place a block
under the bedknife.
3. Remove the 2 nuts securing each roller bracket and the
spacer to each side plate mounting flange.
4. Lower the roller and the screws from side plate
mounting flanges and spacers.
5. Place the spacers onto the screws on roller brackets.

3. Side plate mounting flange
6. Secure the roller bracket and spacers to the underside
of the side plate mounting flanges with the nuts
previously removed.
7. Verify that bedknife-to-reel contact is correct. Tip the
mower to expose the front and rear rollers and the
bedknife.
Note: The position of the rear roller to the reel
is controlled by the machining tolerances of the

A limited amount of adjustment is possible by setting
the cutting unit on a surface plate and loosening the
side plate mounting cap screws
1. Side plate mounting cap screws
8. Adjust and tighten cap screws and torque the cap
screws to 37-45 N-m (27-33 ft-lb).
