Warning
Contact with the reels or other moving parts can
result in personal injury.
Keep fingers, hands, and clothing away from the
reels or other moving parts.
Danger
Using a short handled brush when backlapping
will cause you to come into contact with moving
parts, causing serious injury.
Only use brush handle assembly 29-9100 available
from your Authorized Toro Distributor when
backlapping.
Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front
face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is
completed. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that
may have built up on the cutting edge.
