PREPARE MOWER FOR SHARPENING
Preparation of the mowing unit prior to sharpening.
It is recommended that the mowing unit to be sharpened
is thoroughly cleaned. Remove wheels and bed bar, if
possible from the reel. For best results the Bedknive
should be sharpened whenever the reel is sharpened.
Inspect, adjust and/or replace any worn or damaged
bearings. Make sure the reel bearings are adjusted properly
so that the reel turns easily by hand.
REELS WITH EXCESS TENSION ON THE BEARINGS
WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SPIN
GRIND AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
REEL OR THE SPIN DRIVE MECHANISM ON
YOUR GRINDER. NO MORE THAN 25 IN LBS.
MAXIMUM TORQUE LOAD TO ROTATE THE REEL
IS ALLOWED OR DAMAGE TO THE SPIN DRIVE
COULD OCCUR. REELS GROUND WITH BEARINGS
WHICH HAVE WEAR AND/OR FREE PLAY WILL
NOT HOLD DIAMETER, CYLINDRICAL SHAPE, OR
STRAIGHTNESS SPECIFICATIONS.
INITIAL SET UP OF REEL SUPPORTS
A. The preferred method of mounting fairway units and
greens mower units is to set the rear roller on the roller
supports facing up with the offset toward the back. To
secure the cutting unit, wrap the chain clamp around the
roller and the tooling bar. See FIG. 26.
B.With greens mowers, you may use the centers mounting
brackets. See FIG. 27.
C.On ground drive fairway mowers with exposed hubs,
you should use the OPTIONAL Pull Gang Reel Mount Kit
18574. Normally the upper brackets will be positioned in
the top two holes of the lower supports with the offset "V"
facing toward rear of the machine.
See FIG. 28.
NOTE: The position of the "V" bracket to the lower support
can be adjusted to any of the three different height settings
and two offset positions to accommodate the many
different reels available.
FIRMLY TIGHTEN ALL LOCKING KNOBS BEFORE
GRINDING. ANY LOOSE KNOBS WILL ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE GRIND QUALITY.
