Continue to check for light contact across the full

length of bedknife using paper. If light contact is

not evident, the bedknife is not parallel to the

reel.

Loosen the nut on the left bedbar pivot bolt

enough to ease turning of eccentric bolt.

Parallel the bedknife to the reel by rotating the

left bed–bar pivot bolt

bolt has an offset thread which, when rotated,

acts as a cam to raise or lower the bedbar. On

the left hand pivot bolt there is an offset dot

(Figure

6) which denotes the thread of the bolt.

When the dot is in the up position

left end of bedbar is raised. As the bolt is turned

clockwise and the dot is lowered, so is the left

end of the bedbar. The identification dot is to be

positioned within the rear (180 degree) position

when adjusting.

Rotate the left pivot bolt to raise or lower the

bedbar.

Insert a long strip of newspaper between the

reel blade and the bedknife. While rotating the

reel backward, turn the bedknife adjusting knob

clockwise, one click at a time, until the paper is

pinched lightly, which results in the paper being

cut or a slight drag when the paper is pulled.

When light contact is evident across the full

length of bedknife, tighten the pivot bolt nut,

while holding the bolt in position and check to

make sure that the pivot bolt did not become

misadjusted when tightened. Readjust as

required.

Important:

To make sure that the bedknife

and the reel are not damaged while the

cutting units are transported to or installed

on the towing frame, rotate the bedknife

adjusting knob counterclockwise until the

bedknife does not touch the reel.
