Finalizing Height-Of-Cut - Toro Reelmaster 6500–D Service Manual

D. Finalizing Height–of–Cut
IMPORTANT: Adjusting (Parallel) bedknife to reel, set-
ting cutting unit attitude, and leveling the front roller must
be completed before finalizing height of cut.
1. Using a two–screw gauge bar, Toro part no.
98–1852, set first screw to desired Height–of–Cut. This
setting is from the bar face to the underside of the screw
head (Fig. 25).
2. With the cutting unit rotated backwards, place
gauge bar across front and rear rollers. First screw head
should fit snugly over edge of bedknife and the end of
second screw should contact bottom of bedknife (Fig.
26). Verify rear roller (height of cut) at each end of the
bedknife.
NOTE: Second screw height was determined in section
B. Setting Cutting Unit Attitude.
3. If there is a gap between the rear roller and the
gauge bar, or if the rear roller will not let you put the
gauge bar on the bedknife, proceed as follows:
4. Loosen lock nuts on rear side brackets (Fig. 27).
5. To reduce thread play, turn rear adjusting screw
clockwise until a slight gap exists between the rear roller
and gauge bar. Then turn rear adjusting screw counter-
clockwise until rear roller contacts the gauge bar. After
adjustment, verify gauge bar contacts rear roller on both
ends of the bedknife.
NOTE: Make sure gauge bar is in contact with front roll-
er at all times to keep correct cutting unit attitude.
6. Slide gauge bar towards the end of the cutting unit to
remove. Gauge bar can now be utilized to set remaining
cutting units on machine.
