Checking/Adjusting the
Cutting Unit Attitude
For setting consistent cutting unit attitude, Toro strongly
recommends using a two-screw gauge bar, Toro part no.
98-1852 (Fig. 8). The height of cut screw, farthest screw
from end of gauge bar, is used to set the height-of-cut. The
attitude screw is used to set cutting unit attitude. This
screw is only used when the Front Height of Cut kit, Part
No. 104–8205 is installed on cutting unit.
Note: The attitude screw setting is an easy method of
transferring cutting unit attitude to all cutting units on a
machine.

1. Place an angle indicator, Toro Part No. 99-3503, on the
bedknife and record the bedknife angle (Fig. 9).

2. Using a two-screw gauge bar, Toro Part No. 98-1852,
set the height of cut screw to the desired height-of-cut.
3. Place the gauge bar across the front and rear rollers.
The height of cut screw head needs to fit snugly over
the edge of the bedknife while the gauge bar contacts
the rollers (Fig. 10).

6. For adjusting the cutting unit attitude, change the
position of the roller (A, B or C) (Fig. 10).
Note: If Front Height of Cut kit, Part No. 104–8205 is
installed on cutting unit (Fig. 11), adjust front roller to
desired attitude and reset attitude screw. Gauge bar can
now be utilized to set remaining cutting units on machine.
