Adjusting The Height Of Cut - Toro 04616 Operator's Manual

2. To adjust rear roller proceed as follows:
• Raise the rear of the cutting unit and place a
block under the bedknife.
• Remove the (2) nuts securing each roller bracket
and spacer to each sideplate mounting flange.
• Lower the roller and screws from the sideplate
mounting flanges and spacers.
• Place the spacers onto the screws on the roller
brackets.
• Re-secure the roller bracket and spacers to the
underside of the mounting flanges with the nuts
previously removed.
3. Verify that the bedknife to reel contact is correct.
Tip the mower to expose the front and rear rollers
and the bedknife.
Note: The position of the rear roller to the
reel is controlled by the machining tolerances
of the assembled components and paralleling is
not required. A limited amount of adjustment is
possible by setting the cutting unit on a surface plate
and loosening the sideplate mounting capscrews
(Figure 14). Adjust and re-tighten capscrews.

Important: Whenever the cutting unit has to be
tipped to expose the bedknife/reel, prop up the
rear of the cutting unit to make sure the nuts on
the back end of the bedbar adjusting screws are
not resting on the work surface (Figure 6).
