Insert one or two strips of newspaper into the
space between the reel cutter (cutting

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.

Rotate the reel cutter (cutting cylinder)
clockwise (reverse rotation) when you face
the mower unit from the left.
Turn on the lapping machine.
Otherwise, rotate the lapping handle.
Important
The right side of the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) (when you face the mower unit from
the front) is inclined to wear earlier than the
left side. Accordingly be sure to move the
brush from the left to the right to apply the
abrasive.

Apply the abrasive evenly with the brush on
the top side of reel cutter (cutting cylinder)
where the newspaper was cut well or of
chalk-marked locations.
(Never apply to blunt areas.)
Rotate the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) for a
while and stop its rotation when the sound of
contact is lost.
