RAPID FACER MANUAL
4.3.1 Two reel guide pins are attached
to the grinder carriage. These
allow the disc to sharpen the
bedknife without damaging
the reel blades. When hand
traversing the grinding head the
reel pins rotate the reel blades
clear of the grinding disc.
4.3.2 Slide the carriage to the left until the grinding disc is over the left end of the bedknife. Turn
the left adjustment spindle to lower the disc until it just lightly touches the bedknife.
Slide the carriage to the right until the disc is over the right end of the bedknife. Turn the
right hand adjustment spindle to lower the disc until it just lightly touches the bedknife.
Traverse the carriage along the rail and observe:
a) that the disc rubs lightly all along the top edge of the bedknife.
b) that the reel pins rotate the reel blade clear of the disc.
c)
HYDRAULIC DRIVES
When grinding with the mower fully assembled it may be necessary to back off the reel,
if the reel pins are unable to turn the reel against the hydraulic pressure.
