to stop the engine and wear gloves to protect
your hands.
Pay attention not to let the reel cutter (cutting

may injure your hand or fingers.
Caution
Before adjusting the blade engagement, be
sure to set the rotation selector lever for the
reel cutter (attached to the mower unit) to the

Adjustment of Blade Engagement_001
1 Rotation selector lever
Adjust the engagement between the reel cutter
(cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom
blade) so that newspaper (one piece) will be cut
cleanly by the edge of both blades when the
blades in their entirety come slightly into contact
with each other via the cutter adjusting nuts.
Insert a strip of newspaper into the space
between the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the
bed knife (bottom blade) at an angle of 90
degrees. Then, rotate the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) counter-clockwise (when you face the
mower unit from the left) to check the sharpness
of the blades.
Check the sharpness of the entire range (three
or four points from left edge to right) of the reel
cutter (cutting cylinder).
If a gap is created between edges:
Loosen (rotate counter-clockwise) the cutter
adjustment nut to apply more contact
pressure between the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade).
If the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) is too tight
to turn:
Tighten (rotate clockwise) the cutter
adjustment nut to reduce the contact
pressure between the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade).
Apply lapping to the reel cutter when the
engagement is not improved by the
adjustment.
