Checking the Top Grind Angle
The angle that you use to grind your bedknives is
very important.
Use the angle indicator (Toro Part No. 131-6828) and
the angle-indicator mount (Toro Part No. 131-6829) to
check the angle that your grinder produces and then
correct for any grinder inaccuracy.
1. Place the angle indicator on the bottom side of
the bedknife as shown in
Figure 34 .

2. Press the Alt Zero button on the angle indicator.
3. Place the angle-indicator mount on the edge of
the bedknife so that the edge of the magnet is
mated with the edge of the bedknife (
Figure 35 ).
Note:
The digital display should be visible from
the same side during this step as it was in step 1 .

4. Place the angle indicator on the mount as shown

Note:
This is the angle that your grinder
produces; it should be within 2 degrees of the
recommended top grind angle.
Servicing the Bedbar
Removing the Bedbar
