The up travel limit is restricted to keep the Index Finger in the reel blade index path.
  • Page 16 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR GRINDER (Continued) RELIEF ANGLE ADJUSTMENT You should always make sure the Reel Positioner Adjuster is at its mid point before you set up a reel to grind. This will allow to adjust the relief angle by approximately 8 degrees in both directions.
  • Page 17 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PREPARE MOWING UNIT FOR SHARPENING When preparing a cutting unit for sharpening, follow the cutting unit manufacturers recommendations for proper maintenance. It is recommended that the reel to be sharpened is thoroughly cleaned. Remove wheels and bed bar, if possible, from the reel. All bedknives must be ground when reels are sharpened.

  • Page 23 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) REEL DRIVE ADAPTERS This grinder is equipped with an adapter that transfers the rotation from the spin drive gear box coupling to a 1/2"male square. To operate the grinder you need an adapter from this 1/2" male square to the reel shaft.
  • Page 24 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) SETUP PROCEDURE FOR SPIN DRIVE RPM VERSUS TRANSVERSE SPEED SPIN DRIVE RPM SPIN DRIVE RPM IS VERY IMPORTANT IN ACHIEVING A QUALITY GRIND. USE CARE IN ESTABLISHING THE SPIN DRIVE RPM, PER THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. Generally, the Spin Drive RPM will be between 180 RPM (45%) and 380 RPM (100%). The speed required to spin a specific reel is dependant on reel diameter, the number of reel blades, and reel hardness.
  • Page 25 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) VERIFY GRINDING WHEEL TO REEL END FRAME CLEARANCE Install the 5" (127 mm) x 1 " (25mm) grinding wheel. Adjust the relief finger with the front hand knob so it clears the grinding wheel diameter (about 1/32" [0.8 mm]).
  • Page 26 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) Turn on the Grinding Wheel Motor and the Spin Drive Motor. Set the Spin speed at approximately 200 rpm for 10" (254 mm) reels and 300 rpm for 5" (127 MM) reels. (Refer to Spin Drive Speed information on page 23). Make sure spin rotation is the same as the grinding wheel - clockwise (CW) looking from right end.
  • Page 27 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) RELIEF GRIND Replace the grinding wheel with the appropriate wheel for relief grinding. Generally a 5" (127 mm) Dia. x 3/8" (10 mm) wide, will be used. As the reel diameter gets smaller and the number of blades increases the relief grinding wheel diameter must get smaller.
