desired height of cut and position it against the front
edge of the bedknife at one end. Turn the support
capscrew to adjust the height of the bedknife equal
to the gauge block.
6.
Repeat the procedure at the other end; then recheck
the original end.
7.
Tighten the nuts securing the roller brackets.

ADJUSTING THE BEDKNIFE
PARALLEL TO THE REEL
(Fig. 45-46)
(Floating or Fixed Cutting Units)
1.
Make sure the reel contact is removed by turning
the bedknife adjustment knob counterclockwise
(Fig. 45). Tip the cutting unit to gain access to the
reel and bedknife (Fig. 46).

2.
On either end of the reel, insert a long strip of dry
newspaper between the reel and bedknife. While
slowly rotating the reel into the bedknife, turn the
bedknife adjusting knob clockwise, one click at a
time until the paper is pinched lightly, which results
in a slight drag when the paper is pulled.
3.
Check for light contact at the other end of reel using
paper. If light contact is not evident, proceed to next
step.
4.
Loosen the (2) carriage bolts on the bedbar adjuster
(Fig. 46).
5.
Adjust the nuts to move the bedbar adjuster up or
down until the paper is pinched along the entire
bedknife surface, when the bedknife adjustment
knob is adjusted to no more than two clicks beyond
first contact of the reel bedknife.
6.
Tighten the nuts and carriage bolts and verify
adjustment.
