Assembling the Bedbar

on bolts) and 8 washers. A nylon washer is to be
positioned on each side of side plate boss. Place a steel
washer outside each of the nylon washers (Fig. 19).
Torque bolts to 240–320 in.-lb. Tighten nuts until thrust
washers just rotate freely.
3. Tighten spring tension nut until spring is collapsed, then
back off 1/2 turn.
4. Adjust bedbar; refer to Adjusting the Bedknife to the
Reel, page 7.
Backlapping the Reel
Danger
Contact with the reel or other moving parts can
result in personal injury.
Keep fingers, hands, and clothing away from the
reels or other moving parts.
•
Stay away from the reel while backlapping.
•
Never use a short handled paint brush for
backlapping. Part No. 29-9100 Handle assembly
complete or individual parts are available from
your local Authorized Toro Distributor.
1. Position the machine on a clean, level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brake,
and remove the ignition key.
2. Remove the reel motors from the cutting units and
disconnect and remove the cutting units from the lift
arms.
3. Connect the backlapping machine to the cutting unit by
inserting a piece of 3/8 in. square stock into the splined
coupling at the right end of the cutting unit.
Note: Additional instructions and procedures on
Backlapping are available in the Toro Sharpening Reel &
Rotary Mowers Manual, Form No. 80-300PT.
Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front
face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is
completed. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that
may have built up on the cutting edge.
