Cutting Unit Maintenance

Blade Safety

Use care when checking the cutting-unit reel. Wear
gloves and use caution when servicing the reel.
A worn or damaged blade or bedknife can break, and
a piece could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
•
Inspect the blades and bedknives periodically for
excessive wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wear gloves
and use caution when servicing them. Only
replace or backlap the blades and bedknives;
never straighten or weld them.
Leveling the Rear Drum to
the Reel
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface,
preferably a precision steel work plate.
2. Place a 0.6 x 2.5 cm (1/4 x 1 inch) flat steel strip,
approximately 73.6 cm (29 inches) long, under
the reel blades and against the front edge of the
bedknife to prevent the bedbar from resting on
the work surface.
3. Raise the front roller so that only the rear drum
and the reel are on the surface.

4. Firmly press down on the machine above the
reel so that all reel blades contact the steel strip.
5. While pressing down on the reel, slide a feeler
gauge under one end of the drum, then check
the other end of the drum.
Note:
If there is a gap between the drum and
the work surface, greater than 0.25 mm (0.010
inch), on either end, adjust the drum (proceed to
step 6). If the gap is less than 0.25 mm (0.010
inch), no adjustment is required.
6. Remove the rear belt cover from the right side of
the machine
