reel and bedknife, perpendicular to the bedknife
(Figure 48). Slowly rotate the reel forward; it
should cut the paper.
Note:
If you see excessive contact/reel drag, it
will be necessary to backlap, face the front of
the bedknife, or grind the cutting unit to achieve
the sharp edges that are necessary for precise
cutting.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

1. Verify that the rear roller is level and that the
bedknife-to-reel contact is correct. Tip the
machine back on the handle to expose the front
and rear rollers and the bedknife.
Important:
Do not tip the machine at an
angle greater than 25°. Tipping the machine
beyond 25 ° leads to oil leaking into the
combustion chamber and/or fuel leaking out
of the fuel-tank cap.
2. Loosen the locknuts that secure the height-of-cut
arms to the height-of-cut brackets

6. Adjust both ends of the roller until the entire
roller is parallel to the bedknife.
Important:
front rollers contact the gauge bar and the
screw is snug against the bedknife. This
ensures that the height-of-cut is identical at
both ends of the bedknife.
7. Tighten the nuts to lock the adjustment.
Important:

positioned rearward (the roller closer to the
