With the cutter adjustment nut, adjust the
engagement between the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) so
that newspaper (two to three sheets) will be
cut by the edge of both blades when the
blades in their entirety come slightly into
contact with each other.

Insert two or three strips 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) of the reel cutter
(cutting cylinder).
If a gap is created between edges:
Loosen 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 the cutter adjustment nut to
reduce the contact pressure between the
reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed
knife (bottom blade).
If the blades still cannot cut well:
Perform back lapping of the reel cutter
(cutting cylinder).
