2.
Test the cutting performance by inserting a long
strip of cutting performance paper (Toro Part
125-5610) between the reel and the bedknife,
perpendicular to the bedknife
rotate the reel forward; it should cut the paper.
Figure 7
Note:
If excessive contact/reel drag is evident,
either backlap, reface the front of the bedknife,
or grind the cutting unit to achieve the sharp
edges needed for precision cutting; refer to the
Toro Manual for Sharpening Reel and Rotary
Mowers, Form No. 09168SL.
Important:
Light contact is preferred
at all times. If you do not maintain light
contact, the bedknife and reel edges will
not sufficiently self-sharpen and will dull
after a period of operation. If you maintain
excessive contact, the bedknife and reel will
wear quicker, wear unevenly, and the quality
of cut may be adversely affected.
Note:
After extended running, a ridge will
eventually develop at both ends of the bedknife.
Round off or file these notches flush with the
cutting edge of the bedknife to ensure smooth
operation.
Note:
Over time, you will need to grind the
chamfer
(Figure
8), as it is only designed to last
40% of the bedknife life.

Do not make the lead-in chamfer too
