STEP 3 – Final Height–of–Cut Adjustment Using
Gauge Bar
F. Raise cutting units and lock in the transport posi-
tion. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
G. Use gauge bar (Toro Part No. 59–7900) to set fi-
nal height–of–cut by adjusting front roller only.
H. Loosen the gauge bar jam nut and adjust the
screw to set dimension between underside of screw
head and gauge bar for desired height–of–cut (Fig.
9). Tighten the jam nut to secure the adjustment.
Hook screw head over cutting edge of bedknife and
position bar against bottom of front roller (Fig. 10).
I. Loosen front roller nuts and adjust both ends of the
front roller until it contacts gauge bar at both ends.
With the gauge bar held firmly against the bottom of
the rollers adjust the front roller so the screw head
just slips over the lip of the bedknife (Fig. 10). Tight-
en front roller nuts.
IMPORTANT: Set properly, front and rear rollers will
contact gauge bar and screw head will be snug over
bedknife cutting edge when checked at both ends of
the reel.
J. Loosen lockout pin so cutting unit can float freely
(Fig. 6).
