Preparing a Reel for Grinding
Note: Check to make sure the reel bearings are in
good condition and properly adjusted before grinding a
reel.
1. Remove bedbar assembly (see Bedbar Removal).
2. Raise grooming reel, if installed, by rotating both
quick–up levers so they face the rear of the mower.
Note: Some older grinding machines may require that
the cutting reel be removed.
3. Remove roller and both height–of–cut arms (see
Roller Removal).
Note: The cutting unit must be aligned so the grinding
wheel will travel parallel to the reel shaft. This will result
in the the reel being ground to the desired cylinder
shape.
Note: When grinding, be careful to not overheat the
reel blades. Remove small amounts of material with
each pass of the grinder.
