Note:
When sharpening, setting the height
of cut, or performing other maintenance
procedures on the cutting units, store the cutting
unit reel motors in the storage location on the
front of the suspension arms to prevent damage
to them.
Important:
Do not raise the suspension to
the transport position when the reel motors
are in the holders in the machine frame.
Damage to the motors or hoses could result.
If you must move the traction unit without
the cutting units installed, secure them to
the suspension arms using cable ties.

the cutting unit you are removing

Checking the
Reel-to-Bedknife Contact
Each day before operating the machine, check the
reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut
had previously been acceptable. There must be light
contact across the full length of the reel and bedknife;
refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual.

Backlapping the Reels

WARNING
Contact with the reels or other moving parts
can result in personal injury.
• Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing
away from the reels or other moving parts.

foot while the engine is running.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, shut off the engine, remove the
key, and engage the parking brake.
2. Remove the plastic cover to the left side of the
seat.
3. Make initial reel to bedknife adjustments
appropriate for backlapping on all cutting units
which are to be backlapped; refer to the Cutting
Unit Operator's Manual.
